@skycron @RebeccaCaine You know who you’re explaining things to, don’t you?

Load of old *cobblers. Snobbery about audience behaviour stifles theatre – it’s a collective experience. *cobblers awls = balls. theguardian.com/stage/2023/mar…

Arts Council showing their belief that levelling up means bringing everything down to the same level. Rather than aspiring to excellence. Denying people the opportunity to experience it is incredibly short sighted.

@twgfaulkner The one with Rothenberger

niche req: recordings of Die Dubarry by Millöcker? last night standout no was the chorus "Im Park von Trianon", but the RIAS rec (spotify) is too janunty for me, steamrolls it, whearas we had elegant, wistful, jewell, with fluid transparent horn sweep etc. help with alternatives?

@TimAshAsh Agree!

Today, I actually, properly, FINALLY finished and signed-off a project I've been working on for over two years: a newly engraved edition of Debussy: Pelléas et Mélisande. I started Act 1 during covid lockdown, and have just done the final checks and tweaks this afternoon.

@TomElwin Beautifully.

In Oxford tonight for a ‘we haven’t got the budget for Alfie Boe’ gig. But what do you think I will be singing? #opera #musicaltheatre #gig #oxford #AlfieBoe
