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.SEEKERS of operatic rarities will be heading for Leeds Civic Theatre next week to see Weber's Der Freischutz performed by the local company, West Riding Opera, with recitatives that Berlioz wrote for it in 1841. Never before performed in Britain, the recitatives have been made available as a copy of the full score, which is in the library of Naples Conservatoire. They include some 20 minutes' music, using the full orchestra; the New Berlioz Edition will eventually publish them. WRO has returned regularly to Weber's operas, giving Euryanthe and Oberon in the past two decades. This is its second production of Freischutz, and runs from Monday to Saturday (box office 0532 455505).
