OBERTO regulars will, we're sure, be appalled to read this. Opera has always been a strength at Brookes, in terms of publications, awards, research income, and our OBERTO events have created vital connections between academia and the opera industry. They are completely unique.

We are sad to share with you the news that Oxford Brookes University has decided to close its music department. Below a statement from the music team - we are all devastated.

Obviously our opera research unit is no more, because the staff members involved were made redundant, but we thought followers might like to read about this, which connects to many of the themes discussed at our conferences over the years. Please buy Alex's book!

Available to pre-order! My new book, "Someone Else's Music: Opera and the British" traces attitudes towards opera, 1920-2020. It reveals a forgotten history of popular opera-going, which challenges the elitism stereotype. It also examines when and why that stereotype arose. /

@pzparker @zerlinavulliamy @BBCRadio3 @ignatius_sancho @StreetwiseOpera @TimGarlandMusic @asafsirkis @GwilymSimcock @BBCSounds @ObertoBrookes @BarbaraEichner Each year our @ObertoBrookes conferences addressed pressing issues in the opera industry and the many creative initiatives opera companies are undertaking today. My own research reveals a whole hidden history of working-class opera in the UK. Many missed opportunities here.

Congratulations to music prof Alexandra Wilson, whose new book has taken an important hurdle! Good luck with the final leap! #opera #elitism #britishhistory #musicology @ObertoBrookes @brookes_oa @oxford_brookes

Contract signed so I think I can make this public now. OUP will publish my book "Someone Else's Music: Opera and the British". I examine British attitudes towards opera, 1920-2020, reveal a forgotten history of popular opera going, and trace the rise of the elitism stereotype.

Young lad next to me @southbankcentre got his ticket for a fiver. Such good value and a fabulous concert. Rachmaninov 2 was stupendous and I enjoyed those tricky Strauss songs. Heart warming to chat to a youngster with a passion for classical music

Happy faces after "The Barber of Seville" at the London Coliseum. What better way to spend Valentine's Day than a study trip to the opera? #opera

Please keep sending your thoughts on the Brookes music closure to the VC and governors. A 12-month reprieve for all staff to develop new programmes would really help us. Steady stream of letters good - keep them coming.
