Unfair comparison maybe, but hard to boast - as we used to - that London has two great opera companies when @TheRoyalOpera can today announce squillions of new productions & revivals in 24/25 while @E_N_O is yet to share its own meagre handful. Whose fault is that, @ace_national?
Naomi Jacob (1948): "For years many people insisted that opera was a kind of entertainment for 'highbrows' and exclusive intellectuals. The War proved that it was the kind of entertainment which was appreciated universally by all types and all classes".
@cottageinwood there is no ‘too late’ if you’re still alive i’ve had people on my creative writing courses who’ve started in their 60s & 70s & blown me away with their wise & beautiful prose eg diana athill & elizabeth jane howard wrote brilliantly in their later years older people often…

Can’t wait for the launch of this brilliant book by @NoisyMV this evening at @Dauntbooks. I have the enviable job of posing questions to Michael – suggestions welcome! ✉️
Two important forthcoming events I'm involved in organising: the full and highly varied programme is now up for the Second Biennial International Conference of Music and the University. With keynotes from @tregear and @amwilson_opera . See here: musicandtheuniversity.wordpress.com/schedule/
@amwilson_opera I’m the same. Would like a shirt that fits AND be able to raise my arms. Something went badly wrong somewhere…
@amwilson_opera My aunt, who took me to Bluebeard's Castle when I was young, knew Isadora Duncan.
@amwilson_opera I empathise. I didn’t have the physique either. My ballet teacher did a t least recognise this & created roles for me to perform in local completions. I even won a couple of medals.
@amwilson_opera Who wants to eat tissue paper anyway . Opera is far more enjoyable 😎
Once upon a time, this little girl dreamed of becoming a prima ballerina, only to find she grew taller (and bustier) than everyone else, so she became an opera singer instead. The End. #InternationalDanceDay
@TomMaxwell11 @TheRoyalOpera @E_N_O @ace_national Indeed, Tom. And so much of its decline has been driven by non-creative forces. That's the worst of it.
Unfair comparison maybe, but hard to boast - as we used to - that London has two great opera companies when @TheRoyalOpera can today announce squillions of new productions & revivals in 24/25 while @E_N_O is yet to share its own meagre handful. Whose fault is that, @ace_national?
@MarkValencia @TheRoyalOpera @E_N_O @ace_national It’s so depressing for those of us who have supported ENO through thick and thin for so many years. Heartbreaking to look at programmes from the 80s, 90s and even later, operas programmed almost year-round and lots of exciting new productions. Almost unbelievable decline!
@EllenCanavan2 @ProfDBernstein @MainLineMaven @MaryLawlorhrds Wow, this is hella wrong. Folks, do not follow "legal advice" from non-lawyers on Twitter. Yikes.
@WomensRightsNet @campbellclaret An absolutely privileged luxury position from someone who this will never put at risk...
In a week when we heard about a case where 5000 teenage girls were filmed in toilets, their privacy violated, their safety and well-being abused, @campbellclaret posts this.👇 This casual dismissal of women’s right to privacy and safety IS the problem Alastair. #RespectMySex
My Tree of the Day is the one that was made into this door. I mean, honestly, what is the problem? You go into a communal space, there are men and women, no urinals full of fag ends and chewing gum, no spraying and checking out for size, just private toilets for all. Much better
@cottageinwood there is no ‘too late’ if you’re still alive i’ve had people on my creative writing courses who’ve started in their 60s & 70s & blown me away with their wise & beautiful prose eg diana athill & elizabeth jane howard wrote brilliantly in their later years older people often…
Excellent - a critique of a report written with no discernible relevant qualification/expertise on the part of its authors. Lots of stale clichés, little understanding of the specifics of the art-form. We deserve much better. They should commission a report from @amwilson_opera.
