This is the only one of you in sunglasses I have.

Alas, none with *both* sunglasses and nonchalant command.

I mean, not by myself! But it's a fine hobby I'd recommend to anyone who wants to trap intelligent people in a nightmare realm.

Yes - not helped by the gap between what those artists, organisations, and artist-led organisations are trained in, and the requirements of getting funding (both for the skillset of writing good applications, and having the skillsets to deliver the non-artistic objectives well).

Taking a somewhat arbitrary sample of small opera orgs (those who have appeared at Tête à Tête), the number receiving ACE grants per year hasn't shifted much, though remains low.

Hopefully another time it'll be in a better location for you! (In case helpful, there are weekend matinees largely so out-of-towners have a better chance of making it; I always have the same experience of timings not working out for evening shows in London).
