After ACE cut in 2023, Glyndebourne hit a record 32k at its 2025 Autumn Season; 24% were new bookers. For 2026 it expands to >35k tickets, 11k under £50, plus concerts and the youth-opera premiere Spark by Lucy Armstrong & Olivia Bell. #Glyndebourne #Opera Thoughts?

London’s Wigmore Hall told Arts Council England (ACE) where it could put its annual grant of £350,000... 😳 This is because ACE's criteria for grant-giving no longer depends on the QUALITY of production, but on its DEI. For example... ACE suggested that the problem with #Opera classical music and that 'the stories which opera and music theatre tells are failing to connect fully with contemporary society'.

“Ultimately as a society we have to decide if we want #Opera, & if we want it we have to find a way to pay for it.” @MichaelBerkele2 makes a clear case for how @ace_national’s model doesn’t work any more. Our national companies should be protected by government. #SaveWNO

Excoriating words from @1SVN: “The govt must take a long, hard look at whether @ace_national is fit for purpose.” “The govt needs to take responsibility & act. They must step into the #Opera space before ACE ruins it for good.” @lisanandy we need action! @DCMS #SaveWNO
