How is it a posh hobby? I'm writing a book about the history of opera going in the UK and I could give you countless examples of working-class opera going. The idea that opera - per se - is posh doesn't stand up to any kind of detailed scrutiny. It's just a thing people say.

.@BarbaraOpera speaks on her personal experience of recording with Duncan Miller (who we will hear from during our public lecture and workshop). There is a need to ask more questions about the different modes of recording and the relationship with the performers #InGoodCompany

Wonderful to restart meeting in person at conferences, with all the informal, friendly, inspiring conversations over coffee breaks and lunch and dinner that really help generating new ideas and connections. Thank you @BarbaraOpera for this opportunity. @UniofNewcastle – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England

“Dominic Cummings broke the rules – the country can see that and it’s shocked the government cannot.”
Remark for which Emily Maitlis was reprimanded.
Barnard Castle outing was breach of the regs. To be trusted, BBC must be willing to assert truths even if denied by government.

Let’s keep retweeting this please if it’s annoyed the loathsome hypocrites who now preside over us.

Mi rattrista leggere che un ex Presidente del Consiglio, in un momento così difficile, pur di stare al centro dell’attenzione faccia proposte dannose nel merito e pericolose per la tenuta psicologica del Paese. #Renzi #sictransit

Poco fa fa ho ricevuto una lettera dal ministro degli Esteri della R. Ceca, il quale mi ha assicurato che ci spediranno 110mila mascherine entro le prossime 48h. È lo stesso numero di mascherine che dovevano arrivare in Italia nei giorni scorsi e sequestrate dalle autorità ceche.
