“There’s plenty going on — at a psychological level, anyway — in this show. And that’s before you factor in Akhmetshina’s remarkable performance”: Richard Morrison on the new ROH Carmen Times Culture

This Saturday at 1pm, we launch a major new BBC Radio 3 series: ‘The Land Without Music?’ with Richard Morrison — featuring Dr Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason Nicola Benedetti James MacMillan and more. This thoughtful piece in today’s The Times and The Sunday Times offers a taste of what’s to come: thetimes.co.uk/article/490fba…
So it’s public now. 😥 My husband is a member of the #Orchestra of Welsh National Opera where it’s proposed they go to part-time contracts as of next April. I have tried to bang WNO’s drum since the Arts Council England cuts, but the attention has been elsewhere...🧵musiciansunion.org.uk/news/mu-respon…
Richard Morrison Thought-provoking article. Bravo. I have a friend who once said to me that artists truly create art that matters to them once they aren't funded by anyone else. I've never forgotten those words (of course this isn't financially viable in most cases, but still food for thought)
💥💥💥 'Let’s Create is a disaster and needs to be reversed.' John Gilhooly lets rip to Richard Morrison thetimes.co.uk/article/cb7cf3…
'You emerged from his recitals like the wedding guest from the clutches of the ancient mariner: sadder, wiser and stunned by a storyteller who stares unblinking into the abyss.' Richard Morrison recalls #MaurizioPollini , alongside The Times and The Sunday Times obituary thetimes.co.uk/article/11d8c1…
Whatever your politics, this piece with Keir Starmer in The Times and The Sunday Times by Richard Morrison is essential reading for anyone who cares about music: thetimes.co.uk/article/keir-s…
And at Wigmore Hall, @richmomusic was left close to tears by five songs by Ilse Weber, the children’s nurse in Terezin who was later murdered (alongside her young son) in Auschwitz. thetimes.co.uk/article/07def9…
Lucile Richardot review — heartfelt recital draws on sister composers
★★★☆☆
'But her heartfelt singing captured the expressive power of these pioneering 20th-century women. Next task, build an audience' | ✍️ Richard Morrison

Richard Morrison Mark Valencia 💙 🇪🇺🇺🇦 English National Opera Agreed. My husband plays in the band and the MU's negotiating 'technique' was staggeringly poor. Musicians across the country are now resigning from the union as a direct result.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from The Times and The Sunday Times for Cavalleria rusticana & Aleko (thank you Richard Morrison):
'...ingenious staging... wonderfully unhinged... impassioned orchestral playing and stonking chorus singing'

'Reviews for the new Dune movie will be held back so that influencers can gush on social media. Genuine film fans deserve better' | ✍️ Richard Morrison

Was Imogen Holst in love with Britten? 'Yes, but it was complicated and difficult - because she knew she could never get what she wanted.” The fascinating story of Mark Ravenhill's RSC play Ben and Imo - about a cruel composer and a thwarted musician. thetimes.co.uk/article/7be23b…
