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.

THE INSTALLATION

Monteverdi and modernism curiously affecting. The Financial Times thought the score "very attractive", but asked "Why has he composed a lengthy Monteverdian pastiche?" The Daily Telegraph found no sign of "a full-blooded, dramatically integrated opera in which emotions make an impact." The Times disagreed. "Rare musical and theatrical enchantment."

In repertory at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Booking: 0171-304 4000

Another fine performance by rising mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, but be warned: it runs for two-and-a-quarter hours with no interval.
