Final performance of the 24/25 season #ENOFigaro. Full House and bravo to the principals

Keep up the good work Daily Star

September 5 movie was very engaging. Shout out to all the journalists with tough issues in front of them trying to make sense to an audience in real time.

lmao, jesus

Rehearsal for the Alpine Symphony @lporchestra.bsky.social - always a privilege to be here at the South Bank Centre

Joyous trip to The Producers at the Menier. Given there’s now a place to sign up for more information, I’m guessing a speedy announcement of a west end transfer at the end of the run…

*extremely ‘I write editorial comment for the FT’ voice*. Completely agree with this and also feel like it’s in part a manifestation of how UK has turned inwards. Even much of the political class seems unaware of how important and significant all this is for UK prosperity and security.

Cancelling my Discovery+ contract even faster now they tell me I’ll be missing Meet the Rees Moggs. What an algorithm! Maybe mention something I actually stream, like the tennis.

And what a night at the opera. Amazing singing, performances, drama & orchestration. And to have the composer with us this week has been a joy & delight

Mary, Queen of Scots at ENO tonight. A London premiere and wonderful to have the composer Thea Musgrave in the audience. A sprightly 96!

#EastIsSouth by Beau Willimon (no less) at Hampstead Theatre. Couldn’t be more timely with those MF messing around with computer code. Special shout out to anyone else that wrote a Fortran program that went into an infinite loop #SharedExperiences

A lawyer’s resignation letter for the ages, and that penultimate paragraph is an absolute corker.

Anyone interested in opera and musical theatre must rush to @royaloperahouse.bsky.social Festen. Richard Jones’s production is completely and utterly alive and Mark-Anthony Turnage’s setting of Lee Hall’s properly dramatic libretto is a masterclass in how to create sung drama. I want to go again.

A night at the opera…

www.noelcowardtheatre.co.uk/whats-on/a-s... Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Patsy Ferran is just SO good. Rebecca’s dance background shines through in the use of movement. Lovely to see the back wall of the Almeida recreated on St Martin’s Lane.

STAR: Grown-up spotted in White House! #TomorrowsPapersToday

At the Shake Your Booty Shakespeare on Drury Lane tonight. Moving swiftly on…

SING SING by the team behind JOCKEY- Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar and with amazing performances by Colman Domingo and Clarence Maclin, is a powerful film- shot in 18 days with unstoppable faith and truth- please see it, if you can

We're raising a glass to the cast and crew of CHURCHILL IN MOSCOW, who have their press night tonight. Break a leg!🥂 📸Tristram Kenton 📅Playing until 8 Mar 🎟️Tix are sold out, but check our website for info about our waiting list (available to members) and Friday Rush.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

The moment when the ticket area departure board says next circle line in 12 minutes. The tourists slow down, the locals walk faster as they know there’s likely to be a train in a minute or so. #FoolMeOnce

Yossif Ivanov, Martha Argerich and Mischa Maisky… @wigmore-hall.org.uk

Enjoyed #HTAnInterrogation at the Hampstead Theatre. Great performances by Rosie Sheehy and Jamie Ballard

Final run through of the choreography for the overture upstage, plus curtain call for a superb #ENOFigaro at the Coliseum

Clear-eyed, direct NYT op-ed by @jamellebouie.net using the kind of non-euphemistic language the headlines should embrace:

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.

Opinion | I’m a lifelong Republican who only votes for Republicans. Here’s what I’d like to see Democrats do in the next election cycle.

Fat Ham coming to the RSC at Stratford this summer! A very funny new take on Hamlet, first seen at the Public Theater in New York.

1/3 I am delighted that it seems the final nail has gone into the coffin of this environmentally and financially ruinous scheme. The Tory-led county council spent £800,000 a month trying to keep it alive while cutting vital services. But we're not at the end of this saga yet.

The Chagall windows in All Saints Tudeley are glorious, and within easy striking distance of Tunbridge Wells!

A Good House at the Royal Court and it’s another great play. Well worth seeing in London or Bristol.

The Lonely Londoners at the Kiln is an exhilarating evening of theatre. Exciting to be at the first preview after the successful run at Jermyn Street last year.
