Today, day six, we have an epic Mahler song cycle, and we explore Vienna at the end of the 19th century. Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective perform Brahms and Pejačević, and there’s the much-anticipated return of Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber.

I hear the press have got hold of some pictures and so I have been forced to make this statement. Needless to say, I apologise. shorturl.at/nENOY

Sunsk’s “oh shit, what report” face here is priceless. #itvdebate
Pretty dismal responses from the powers that be in spite of a very vocal campaign led by the indefatigable @ElizAthertonSop.
I’ve finally had replies from most of those I sent our public statement regarding the future of @WelshNatOpera to last month. They’re pretty much as I would have expected, with @lesley4wrexham last to reply with this truly dismal response. She appears to be content to… 1/ 🧵

What a day outside @SeneddWales. The sun shone, the people came, and the orchestra and chorus of @WelshNatOpera joined together in perfect harmony. An emotional event that I can only hope will move @WelshGovernment & @GOVUK into action. #SaveWNO 1/4 🧵
Please join us on Tuesday if you can

An invitation from the #Orchestra & #Chorus of @WelshNatOpera to join in song next week. Please share &let’s show the @WelshGovernment & @GOVUK the strength of feeling against dismantling #Wales’s opera company.
Today’s the day. A Dream come true! My first Gerontius in London, in the exalted company of @davidhconductor @TheBachChoir @philharmonia @jjohnstonmezzo and @RGCWbaritone, whose new work “Cusp” premieres as part of the programme. Do join us if you can thebachchoir.org.uk/concerts…
In case you need any persuasion as to whether you should come along to our Gerontius on Thursday, the fact that Elgar was a Wolves fan should clinch it…
We can't wait to sing The Dream of Gerontius with @dannormski on 16/05. To celebrate the occasion, we discussed how singing Elgar makes Daniel feel, how crucial choral singing has been to his development & his beloved Wolves FC! Read the interview here - thebachchoir.org.uk/behind-t…

So I’ve been busy the last three weeks, working towards this. ⬇️
Without an emergency funding package from @GOVUK & @WelshGovernment, @WelshNatOpera will become part-time. My public statement is available below, along with 176 signatures. 🧵1/5 #SaveWNO

Not only are orchestra & chorus to be made part-time at @WelshNatOpera & two touring venues cut next spring, but now voluntary redundancy has been offered across the rest of the company. How on earth can @ace_national & @Arts_Wales_ defend their cuts? And how bad does the… 🧵1/3
Cutting funding to @WelshNatOpera devalues us as a nation.
This is an organisation with a global reach that is worthy of so much better.
I wish they'd understand that.
