Was Imogen Holst in love with Britten? 'Yes, but it was complicated and difficult - because she knew she could never get what she wanted.” The fascinating story of Mark Ravenhill's RSC play Ben and Imo - about a cruel composer and a thwarted musician. thetimes.co.uk/article/7be23b…

The charlatans and rogues of Arts Council England who routinely trash the nation's arts heritage know they've been found out, so now they're using mafia-style threats to silence dissent.

This is as disgusting as it is disturbing. Do read the thread.

What say you, Thangam Debbonaire ?

Ok. Here’s the truth. Biden is old. But he is a decent moral person who is incredibly effective at governing. Trump is old. But he’s a pathologically lying criminal who is incapable of governing and will destroy American Democracy.

100% recommend Scottish Opera / Jonathan Dove’s “Marx in London!” if you get a chance to see it (u26 cheaper tix available). Has everything from slapstick comedy to Jamie MacDougall in drag. Belly laughed and held back tears too - great example of opera’s role in today’s world!

Tonight! Lucy Schaufer and William Morgan will perform in the UK premiere of Jonathan Dove's 'Marx in London!' at Scottish Opera! Toi Toi Toi!

My brilliant team so very rarely drop a stitch but we have to admit that, as many of you spotted we had a bit of Saint-Saëns at the start of today’s programme instead of Offenbach. Not sure how that happened. Apologies. We’re fixing it!

Um, BBC Radio 3 , the opening of today's Composer Of The Week... That isn't the Barcarolle from The Tales of Hoffman, that's Delilah's aria from Saint-Saens' Samson et Dalilah.
Wrong composer. Wrong opera. 🤔

100 times over I agree with Daniel Evans there must be better roads for artists. We who have worked hard on our own know how hard those walls are to bust through. The Stage The RSC

Excuse me GWR but not able to book Bristol Airport Bus tickets with you anymore. Is this new or a website/app glitch? 🤷‍♀️

This is a VERY misguided decision by Suffolk CC and I urge everyone who cares for the arts in Suffolk to lobby their County councillor to reverse the decision. That the county which has produced and is home to so many fine artists can do this is appalling

DONUTS! Starting this year with JOY and SHARING. Off to deliver to the neighbours!! #oponki #HNY2024

Sunset tonight 🧡

It is with the heaviest of hearts to announce that dear David has passed away peacefully. In this time of such sadness, we shall think of the wonderful man he was, and the truly fantastic career that he had on stage, and on screen. ❤️. God Bless.
