A fascinating blog post from François Matarasso. Has anyone come across good ways of protecting the rights of non-professional creators who collaborate in projects with professionals? There must be a spectrum of approaches from doing nothing to contracting regularmarvels.com/2020/10/2…
The most exciting coffee break I’ve ever had in my life 🤣 @garsingtonopera #reseo instagram.com/p/B-9Io57KSVR/…

Don’t miss this!
On Easter Sunday we'll be streaming our 2016 production 'The Passion', an abridged version of Bach’s iconic oratorio St Matthew Passion, with Streetwise Opera and @TheSixteen, directed by Penny Woolcock. Catch it on Sunday 12 April at 7:00pm at youtube.com/watch?v=BqbritoQ…
Might now be the moment to learn how to make a website or use photoshop?

I feel so honoured to have worked on this show with @staffroommug @tinofpeas @kirstyjhopkins @charmianbedford @robgildon - come and see us! #TheMoonHares
Our new community opera, The Moon Hares, is now on sale @southbankcentre!
Come and find out what happens in the tiny village where the residents are forbidden to go outside at night and look at the stars...

We are so grateful that our opera about young people's reactions to terrorism, "A Shoe Full of Stars", received funding from @ace_national in 2018. The show went on to win BEST OPERA FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES at the international #YAMAwards. Behind every great work: #NationalLottery25

Now that @KeesVlaar has changed his Bio to accurately state that he is NOT the Artistic Director of @radiofilhorkest and @grootomroepkoor it would still be valuable to hear how you both, and @ZaterdagMatinee would like to distance yourselves from his racist and sexist rant.
In the 30s Nazi musicologist Heinrich Besseler fought against the Great Evil : ‘The Jew’. Nowadays some American musicologists likewise want to purge the world of music. Their Great Enemy: ‘The White Male’. So their approach is not just racist, but sexist as well. Progress indeed

There’s a wonderful connection between this project and #hiphoptoopera that was run by @operahollandpk @NoisyMV. I wonder if there’s collaborative potential? @WonderfulSounds has plenty of ideas!

Participatory opera composition workshop with Omar Shahryar at the #operaandpolitics2019 symposium at @TrinityLaban
What do we mean by “opera”?! “Beethoven wrote the opera [musical score] before the opera [spectacle] was produced. The opera [theatre] was full of Prussian soldiers, so the opera [performance] was delayed by 30 minutes.” 😮 Four possible definitions expounded by @WonderfulSounds

2/2 the fact is that there is opera going on outside of institutions. Those of you in training NEED TO KNOW THIS, because it is the reality of how you will ever progress to work in those houses, IF YOU EVER EVEN GET THERE. Maybe you don’t NEED to get there... @NSOSuk @guyharries
1/2 Yo @NSOSuk ! You guys need to be here EN MASSE at @TrinityLaban for the next #OperaAndPolitics2019 conference. It is the ONLY FORUM in the UK where the industry reflects on its political influence. Contact @guyharries in haste. Students who attended had their minds blown.
Yes yes yes, an urgent question from Dr Dominic Hingorani of Brolly Productions and The Powder Monkey with @ErrollynWallen and @Opera_North
