To celebrate the huge range of opera and music theatre going on around the UK, people are encouraged to tweet using the hashtag #LoveOpera during the weekend 6-8 May 2016. The Opera and Music Theatre Forum is encouraging people to tweet what they are doing in pursuit of opera & music theatre, so tweets to show the range of work by talking about what is actually happening. They add on their web site that 'By all means add links to performances, though stating how good they are is not as interesting as telling us you'll be baking fairy cakes for the singers, etc.'!
Tweets should relate to and name specific current/future performances or events but activities taking place during this weekend could include rehearsing, performing, planning, painting sets, travelling on tour, warming up for an evening performance, leading a workshop, attending a performance or watching a live stream.
The whole celebration has been designed to coincide with the European Opera Days, an annual event which celebrates opera as an art form throughout Europe.
