You’re too kind! It was a great night though. Far from confirmed but hoping @BradfordOpera will be back in the autumn of 2024, returning with that legendary triumvirate of high art, comedy and flat caps. @bradford2025
Ben, as one who frequently has a 1000 yard stare thinking back to your outstanding work for #BarberofSeville at St. George's Hall (my 'night of the year' 2023), I can only wish you and your colleagues the best of luck with this performance. And - here's to Ian's next triumph!

This is fantastic. Can we get @BradfordOpera providing similar opportunities for children in Bradford? As a kid my love of Opera was fostered by @LeedsYouthOpera and there weren't as many opportunities in Bradford!
So excited to share the latest documentary from award-winning filmmaker @brettinthecity - Crayons & Opera.

Though some of us are making more progress than others… – at Leeds, England
The rising costs of running opera organisations are outstripping income in a sector that is also making "slow" progress on diversity and inclusion, a report commissioned by @ace_national has found.

Agree with all that 100%, including the not being able to make out every word or phrase; but there was quite enough to have belly laughs every minute. An absolutely magical evening and my heartfelt thanks to all involved in its production.
