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.

Elizabeth Connell: A sometime mezzo stalwart of ENO who upped herself to soprano some 10 years back and has since moved ever deeper into Wagnerian territory, the South African born Elizabeth Connell (above) has a Christmas concert with a differen ce - a selection of music you might actually want to hear. Among the composers are Britten, Barber, Wolf, Faure and Peter Cornelius, whose Weihnachtslieder of 1856 is the original home of the hymn we now all know as "Three Kings from Persian Lands Afar".

Tuesday, 7.30pm, Wigmore Hall, London W1 (071-935 2141)
