(1/2) This is it, we’re saying ‘see ya’ to Twitter/X. Our reasons are pretty much the same as everyone else's, most importantly that we’re a safe and inclusive space for young people and X/Twitter is the total opposite of that.

It's almost the end of September, which mean the return of 💩 weather but also that we're opening up applications to a whole bunch of exciting programmes for young professionals. Apply now for:
The Serena Fenwick programme for directors – you'll get 6 months of mentoring, bespoke career guidance, CV advice and introductions to people in the industry. Plus take part in BYO's productions and be put forward for shadowing opportunities with our industry partners.

My reviews of @WaterperryOpera’s The Turn of the Screw & @BYOpera’s The Rape of Lucretia are now online: open.substack.com/pub/operal… - free to all subscribers. Alexandria Moon (centre) Emmeline Tovey, Harriet Cameron in Lucretia (pic by Ali Wright)
“Masterful punch-in-the-gut production… physically shattering… bold… brave, committed and beautifully sung… tender and vulnerable… core of steel… rip-roaring… unusually chilling… thrillingly sung” – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from @guardian! theguardian.com/music/articl…
Now THAT is what the young professionals in this industry are capable of. THAT is what happens when you give them to tools and support and mentoring to succeed. And THAT is what happens when you take a risk on them. *mic drop*
“Mesmerising… better portrayed here than on larger stages” – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from @TheStage and we are thrilled: thestage.co.uk/reviews/the-r…
Opening night for our blue cast is tonight – see you in the tunnel shaft.
We’ve had a couple of returns for tonight’s opening performance. Snap ‘em up quick: lucretia.info/tickets
We’ve been able to release just a handful of extra tickets for all four performances of The Rape of Lucretia next week. Book ‘em quick because when we say just a handful we really mean it. Head to lucretia.info now!
Great news for one of our newest trustees, @theothertoby!
We’re delighted to announce that Dr Toby Young has been chosen to receive a Future Leaders Fellowship, by UKRI (UK Research & Innovation). The fellowship provides a grant of £1.4 million, to fund Dr Young’s research project, Immersive Opera.

Spot the difference: 78 years ago today The Rape of Lucretia got its first ever outing, and now this summer we’re using it to help a bunch of young professionals kickstart their careers.
