The major water leak on East Dulwich Grove is causing havoc for residents & disrupting the education of pupils at Charter North Dulwich School The poor communication from @thameswater since Thursday is totally unacceptable When will repairs be complete & water supply restored?

PROTEST #SaveOurWNO 🎶 Tuesday, 21st May at 1pm Senedd, Cardiff Bay An invitation from the #Orchestra & #Chorus of @WelshNatOpera to join in song next week. Please share &let’s show the @WelshGovernment & @GOVUK the strength of feeling against dismantling #Wales’s opera company.

Can’t stop thinking of @pilot_theatre’s Song for Ella Grey, which I saw last night at @TheatrePeckham . A beautiful and moving play.

@FionaMaddocks @HelenRichenda @BarbicanCentre Excellent news! Congratulations Helen!

@whatSFSaid @clpe1 @chrisriddell50 I loved reading Varjak to my daughters. Thank you.

We writers do our best to create books that will thrill children, filling their minds with magic & wonder. But I think the real magic happens in those places where adults read aloud to kids, bringing the books to life, and changing their lives forever in the process. #literacy

You wake up as Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky. What’s the first thing you’re doing?

@Mike_Batt @AlanRos44521375 Just back from my daughter’s drama club production of Mamma Mia. 90 minutes of ABBA and my earworm is still bloody Cheryl.

@ericajeal @AlanRos44521375 Since I rediscovered the little film on Youtube last week, Erica, the song's been doing my head in. Literally all day today, round and round. It's worse than my tinnitus! 🤣

Every time you show your shins, an orchestra of violins begins.

@Mike_Batt @AlanRos44521375 Ah thanks @AlanRos44521375, I had just got rid of that earworm, and now… But I’m delighted to find @Mike_Batt had a hand in it - makes a lot of sense.

@AlanRos44521375 @ericajeal Thanks for the info @AlanRoss . I had better luck than @ericajeal . As we are BOTH Felix Fallop (composer of “Cheryl of The Charming Chins”), myself in truth, and Sir Tony in fiction, I contacted him; we had become friends some years ago. He had forgotten all about Felix! 🤣

@nfmusic You and me both. I loved it.

“They say that this opera is too sad and that there are too many deaths. But in life all is death! What else exists?” I thought of Verdi’s quote when watching #ROHtrovatore …Got the feeling I’m swimming against the tide here but it’s ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me thetimes.co.uk/article/92a2bd…

@BBCPhilharmonic @BridgewaterHall @stevenosborne @BBCRadio3 @BBCSounds This just made me think I'd had a major diary fail! But no - fond memories of recording this BAL as a strange piece of performance art inside a perspex box at the Sage, with @andrewCDmcg

For our final concert of the season at @BridgewaterHall on the 17 June, we’re performing Britten’s Piano Concerto with @stevenosborne. Over on @BBCRadio3’s Record Review, Erica Jeal joins Andrew McGregor to discuss the piece. 🎧 Listen on @BBCSounds. bbc.in/42jTJCm

Britain’s art institutions face death by a thousand cuts. Why are they just putting up with it? | Charlotte Higgins theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@christysnr @WarnerClassics The concert ending version is included as a bonus track (presumably with an eye to streaming/radio)

As a #Puccini lover, the new #Turandot naturally commands my attention. I'm curious to know, however, if the disc concludes "Nessun dorma" with the "concert ending" rather than segue to "Tu che guardi le stelle" - this happens with the streamable versions. (@ericajeal)

Very much enjoyed reviewing ⁦@LeahBroad⁩’s new book theguardian.com/books/2023/mar…

@ElizAthertonSop @Telegraph @PrueLeith @dignityindying @FriendsAtTheEnd @MDMDmydecision @EndOfLifeIE @DidCardiff I’m so sorry Liz. I remember seeing Susan sing. She was luminous.

So it appears I’ve had a letter published in @Telegraph today. I’m with @PrueLeith on this. “If Oregon can manage it, then so can Britain.” #YesToDignity @dignityindying

Rusalka, Royal Opera House review – junk-filled staging brings magic and a sombre message theguardian.com/music/2023/feb…

@AkselToll @KevinWNg @larkingrumple Now I’ve read that, how do I un-read it?

@KevinWNg @larkingrumple @ericajeal twitter.com/AkselToll/stat…

I enjoyed this #ROHRusalka review by @ericajeal – and you can see more of the Act 1 set here than in the ROH's own photos theguardian.com/music/2023/feb…

@RuthElleson Of sorts. Safety in numbers! Great to have you in the audience last night.

@ericajeal I didn’t know you were a violinist…

Haaaaaa. Just realised that wearing a mask at concerts means I can now sit in the middle of the 4th row at Peter Grimes with a bunch of friends in it, and mouth along with all the words and nobody will tease me about it afterwards 😎

@mrs_wiles @StJosephsrbkc Now with added clarification! theguardian.com/music/2023/feb…

@ericajeal thank you for your lovely words re children's chorus #ENOCarmen just one thing - the chorus is all from one school - @StJosephsrbkc - the other school is providing the two young dancers

@mrs_wiles @StJosephsrbkc They’re brilliant - well done!

@SopranicBrit @Opera_North Lovely talking to you Elizabeth! @operamagazine
