The Sunday Preview: Opera & Concerts
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.Cheltenham Festival (0242 227979, all week). The opening week is overwhelmed with first performances, from a David Blake cello concerto tonight to a Nigel Osborne clarinet trio on Sat. Most of the new music, though, comes from this year's featured composer Michael Berkeley, whose opera of remembered adolescent trauma, Baa Baa Black Sheep, plays Wed & Fri.
Nash Ensemble (Wigmore Hall, 071- 935 2141, Tues). Music and landscape reconsidered, in a thematic programme that includes the London premiere of David Matthews's extended song setting The Sleeping Lord.
Don Giovanni (ROH, 071-240 1066, from Tues). The return of Johannes Schaaf's chicly sensual production, with Tom Allen, Claudio Desderi and a fully frontal supper service. As seen on television.
The Secret Marriage (Cheltenham Everyman, 0242 227979, Thurs & Sat). Cimarosa's frothy comedy in a new Jonathan Miller production that plays Cheltenham before it slots into the Buxton Festival.
