It seems British music is still being hit hard by Brexit. Opera designer Antony McDonald, who won an Olivier Award last week for his work on Alcina at the Royal Opera House, said Brexit had done “terrible damage” to his art form.
He told The Stage: "Brexit has done terrible damage because it has absolutely curtailed people’s careers, because this thing about only being allowed into Europe for so many days of a year means great singers are turning down roles abroad", calling it a “tragedy”. The cuts from the Arts Council to the English National Opera have not helped, he said.
