Thank you @MichaelSheen for your solidarity and support in the campaign to protect Welsh National Opera. Diolch yn fawr iawn! ✊. #WNOProud #WNOBalch.
The @WelshNatOpera orchestra needs your help! Keep the WNO as a full-time company, protect jobs and secure the company’s future. Write to your MP or MS and ask them to help protect one of the jewels in the Welsh culture crown.
