Deja vu

Hi @wesstreeting, I worked 2 out of 5 weekends in March, I’m working 3 out of 4 weekends in April, and 2 out of 4 weekends in May… can we have some funding now? Absolute melt.

@TfL it’s mayhem at Golders Green with the Northern Line closure. Crazy one way system to get into the station and no trains saying where they are going on the info boards just check front of train which you can’t do! If it’s like this on day 1! 9 more days of this! Good luck!

Well this is embarrassing

In honour of the Gladiators final, here’s my son doing all the moves during the opening titles. For me, the plaster on his head, his sudden decision to get a unicorn to help him and his impression of Viper really add to it. #GladiatorsFinal

New favourite Harrowing of Hell depiction, with a demon squashed, Tom and Jerry style, by the door that Jesus has kicked in.

Last ever curtain call of this incarnation of @E_N_O before the orchestra etc is disbanded. Coincidentally my 2 boys’ (8 & 11) first ever opera (Magic Flute). They were enthralled and thrilled. Those who have let this happen to ENO should be ashamed.

So it’s public now. 😥 My husband is a member of the #Orchestra of @WelshNatOpera where it’s proposed they go to part-time contracts as of next April. I have tried to bang WNO’s drum since the @ace_national cuts, but the attention has been elsewhere...🧵 https://t.co/wCuL7QxYNA

Good Friday service was loooooong but there was some gooooooood music. I may have enjoyed this F a little too much. Hot cross buns were great afterwards too.

ENO’s Magic Flute is absolutely superb! Utterly genius staging with very very clever use of live video projections. I adored it! One of the best operas I’ve ever seen.

@StJohnsVoices This is absolutely appalling news. Stephen would have been shocked at his old college’s actions. There is room for two choirs. Where will female adult sopranos sing?

[not a meme] Choristers grow up with a love of music, a love of singing. Since the 90s this privilege has increasingly been enjoyed by all, regardless of gender. When the boys grow up, they can become basses, tenors - even countertenors for the really brave. When the girls grow

Thank you to everyone who joined us @BarbicanCentre for a Patchwork Passion with @CliveMyrieBBC as narrator, Martin Baker on the organ and conducted by @nic_chalmers You can listen to this performance across Holy Week on Afternoon Concert on @BBCRadio3

Making music is special.

There is something terrible hearing @HackneyAbbott being talked ABOUT and not being allowed to talk herself is .. well, horribly predictable and depressing.

ENO guide to running an opera house. Step 1, make the musicians redundant and use Chat GPT to write your website copy.

Oh. My. Goodness.

"Call out for deps. Is anyone available for Evensong tomorrow? Could do with a good number of basses." The replies:
