Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

"NOW there is a fourth tenor," proclaimed one critic after witnessing Roberto Alagna's performance in Gounod's Romeo et Juliette at the Royal Opera House last November. Michael White, in the Independent on Sunday, called it "the most spectacular vocal performance I've heard all year". Still in his early thirties, Alagna is now widely regarded as the brightest young star in the opera firmament, and his debut CD is one of the more eagerly awaited opera releases of the year. Featuring popular tenor arias from Donizetti, Massenet, Rossini, Verdi, Bizet and, of course, Gounod's Romeo et Juliette, it is available in record shops, but we have 20 CD copies to give away, courtesy of EMI Classics. To enter, simply answer the following question:

In what role did Roberto Alagna make his Covent Garden debut?

Answers, on a postcard please, to: ALAGNA, Arts Desk, Independent on Sunday, 1 Canada Sq, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL. Usual competition rules apply; the editor's decision is final. The closing date for entries is Mon 30 Oct.
