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."It was a beautiful performance with beautiful scenery. Opera in the round is much more accessible. And having surtitles in English is brilliant - the words are fascinating." Liz Bazzard, programmer
"Opera should be open to everyone - all classes. Having it in the round helps - you feel part of the scenes." Mr Simpson,
self-employed
"This is a first for us. I thought it worked very well. It was very easy to watch and digest."
Mr Corbet,
planning manager
"It was interesting, but I prefer the Royal Opera House because it's more intimate. We prefer the traditional setting."
Mrs McCulloch, accounting analyst
"I still feel that opera is rather elite, even though this is more accessible. It was quite an experience, as I've never been before." Mr Tierney,
computer operator
"We've been to the Albert Hall many times but this is our first opera. We'd definitely go again. The sound was magnificent."
Glenn Clarkson, company director
