Oh, that the UK’s modern day governments would understand the importance of the #Arts and fund them appropriately - before it’s too late. #SaveWNO

@lisanandy @DCMS Many congratulations, @lisanandy. 👏🏻 I’m sure you realise that you inherit a sector in crisis, with #Opera on its knees & our great national companies being demolished as I write. Please can we speak asap to find a way to #SaveWNO? @WelshNatOpera x.com/elizathertonso…
Elizabeth Atherton@ElizAthertonSop

Well, one thing’s for absolutely certain - the inquiry into @ace_national must be resumed immediately and without delay, as @ThangamDebb had promised would happen. @lisanandy MUST make it her number one priority in ensuring he inquiry continues pronto… #SaveWNO

From rugby league to Royal Opera, our cultural and sporting heritage runs through our towns, villages and cities and is one of our country’s greatest assets. It is an unbelievable privilege to take on the role of Secretary of State @DCMS . The hard work begins today.
UK Prime Minister@10DowningStreet

Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy has been appointed Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport @DCMS.

…too late for @WelshNatOpera? The clock is ticking & if the company is to remain full-time, an emergency injection of cash needs to be found urgently. There is enough uncertainty around both ACE & ACW’s behaviours & funding priorities to surely warrant an intervention by… 7/

…And as for @ThangamDebb & @JoStevensLabour? Well, they certainly seem to understand more of the situation & make the right noises for the future. But I wonder if they realise that if their colleagues in @WelshGovernment continue to bury their heads in the sand it will be… 6/

…The response from @DCMS was predictably dismissive, parroting @ace_national’s official line &showing little understanding. But as @lucyfrazermp is unlikely 2 be in post come July 4th I guess it matters little that she appears not to care about the future of #Opera in the UK. 5/

…without emergency funding WNO will go to a part-time model, with all the consequences that were outlined in our statement & during our protest on the steps of @SeneddWales? Is that really what she & @PrifWeinidog want for #Wales? 4/

…be the fact that #Opera amounts to less than 15% of @Arts_Wales_’s total spend, despite being by far the most expensive art form to mount, especially given the extent of @WelshNatOpera’s touring, & education & health projects. Does @lesley4wrexham not comprehend that… 3/

…wash her hands of @WelshNatOpera by parroting lines seemingly fed to her by @Arts_Wales_. She’s still conflating two separate funding portfolios to reach a misleading statistic of 71% when #Opera & #Music are different portfolios - with good reason. More pertinent would… 2/

I’ve finally had replies from most of those I sent our public statement regarding the future of @WelshNatOpera to last month. They’re pretty much as I would have expected, with @lesley4wrexham last to reply with this truly dismal response. She appears to be content to… 1/ 🧵
