Just watched a really wonderful live-streamed performance of Iolanthe from the G&S Festival in Buxton. Beautifully sung, very funny, and touching at the end. 👏👏👏 to everyone involved. #GilbertandSullivan

And bravo to @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social for celebrating Alfred on LBC this evening, in discussion with John Suchet. Brought a tear to my eye to hear Brendel playing the Emperor on LBC.
