It is no secret that the arts have been going through a tough time in recent years.
But a major new report we're publishing today with the @uniofwarwick’s @CCMPSWarwickUni shows that things are even worse than we thought.

What a day and what a turnout @SeneddWales. Thanks to those who came to support, & what a poignant event it was as we fight to #SaveWNO. Please, listen to us @WelshGovernment & @GOVUK. Do you want to lose this?

Students (present and past) and their supporters protested the planned closure of their junior department at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with a play-in this afternoon.

... their teacher today upset that they would not have a violin to play come the summer holidays, as they are loaned one by the college. A lot of the students are on bursaries to help cover the cost of lessons. The RWCMD decision only hastens the death of music education in wales

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama told its staff today that it is axeing its junior department at the end of this term. Almost 200 children study there on saturdays. That will all stop in July. This is not rich kids playing expensive instruments. One of them texted...

I am reading a lot about excellence in opera and it being elite etc.
I have very recently discovered the absolute thrill and joy of opera. I can go to see one at @E_N_O
From as little as £10. I usually pay about £30 for front row balcony.
It costs over £100 to see Abba holograms.

I cannot begin to imagine the feelings at ENO today… most incredible,wonderful company, unthinkable to have a British Opera scene without it. That the members were served redundancy notices MID-PERFORMANCE last night is cruel, wicked, thoughtless beyond belief. Thoughts with all

Today’s artist is Samantha Price singing Must the Winter come so soon from Samuel Barber’s Vanessa. @SamJeanPrice

As we’re all a little tired of endlessly repeating, there is no such thing as “ENO” without the people who actually create the performances. You’re moving a brand-name, not a company in any meaningful sense.

Unsurprisingly, this statement is more notable for what it doesn’t say than what it does. No clues as to where or how often performances in Manchester will take place, and, more ominously, no mention of whether the current chorus, orchestra or technical team will be involved… 🐘
📢 We are pleased to announce a new working partnership with Greater Manchester to develop a new home and to bring the company’s globally renowned cultural offer to a main base in the city-region by 2029.

"It would be a disaster if there wasn’t another full-scale full-time opera company in London. What does it say about our ambitions as a country and a city if we don’t feel we can support both?" thetimes.co.uk/article/85635…

I know everyone is very angry about this, but please PLEASE fill it in. The only thing that will matter is data, not tweets. I live in hope that this data can then be presented to the next government in order to redress the current sh*tshow.
