Don Giovanni in the @edintfest at @theusherhall tonight was absolutely magnificent. Brilliant music from @SCOmusic , and fantastic singing and acting from a body of performers who wholly inhabited their roles and let the story live and breathe. Mozart would have been so proud. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

LA Phil residency: Beethoven 6 & Adès - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Back-to-back Beethoven @theusherhall: highlight so far of #EdIntFest. @GustavoDudamel is a show on his own: great to watch and makes every move count. Two nights, two brilliant symphonies - and a flypast! 🎻 @LAPhil @edintfest

At the Edinburgh International Festival, we spoke to the award-winning actor Wagner Moura about his dedication to telling the suppressed stories of Brazilian history. "The truth is a very important historical landmark. If we erase the truth, we leave people not really knowing."
