@hering_david I agree! Particularly when the BBC adaptation is perfect. Why not Middlemarch?

It’s just so unbelievably lazy to keep adapting the same three Austen novels again and again. Eliot, Gaskell, Burnley, Radcliffe…just adapt anyone else! theguardian.com/books/2025/apr…

@AlexaCoghlan I’ve worked on it SO many times and still can’t remember the course of events…. Sending solidarity.

At what stage of this career does writing a Figaro synopsis get easier?

@DougWahl1 It’s spelt ‘apologise’.

SHOULD SHE APOLOGIES? After being confronted by the teachings of Jesus, Donald Trump issued a statement saying Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde should apologies to him and to the entire nation. Your thoughts?

I think @SaraMohrPietsch should present every episode of @BBCRadio3 ‘s In Tune!!

@LizClements Heroic!

Hoping that through this series of recitals I and the audience can learn more about the existential struggle of being a refugee here in the UK and around the globe. An exciting programme of music and words. Can’t wait to get started.

@MetOpera Can’t wait! Have loved working with two of these FABULOUS artists Pene and Erin!!!

Verdi’s Rigoletto is back on stage tonight, January 6! Join us as baritone Luca Salsi reprises his stirring portrayal of the title court jester, opposite soprano Erin Morley as Gilda and tenor Pene Pati in his Met debut as the Duke of Mantua.

@stephenm68 🤣

So the Vienna Philharmonic managed to find a piece by a woman that they could include FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER (i.e. since 1939). The waltz - by Constance Geiger - has survived only in a piano transcription. So who did they ask to orchestrate it? Yes: A MAN.

@NardusWilliams Glorious!

@PettyThom @houghhough @TheCBSO Meanwhile I’ll ask him if you don’t already know

What did @houghhough play as an encore last night with @TheCBSO? Sounded like Grieg?

@PettyThom @houghhough @TheCBSO You were there??! You’d have seen my husband playing the violin! Next time you MUST let us know xxxx

@colla_voce @stileantico Standard day with a newborn.

@NoisyMV I think you’re the Opera Gob?

I was working class and then I went into opera and I am still working class. Which is why I get called the Opera Yob.

@arthistorynews And none of the background music is by Mozart!

I will be interested to see if the viewing figures for BBC2's Mozart: Rise of a Genius justify the programme's massive budget (on period drama reconstruction and a host of talking head celebs) when, elsewhere on the BBC, arts coverage has been cut to the bone.

@NLebrecht Do you mean handkerchiefs?
