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.

Edward Seckerson talks to John Fulljames about his staging of Janacek's 'The adventures of Mr Broucek' for Opera North.

The fun and eccentric opera follows the beer-fuelled adventures of Mr Broucek, as he journeys to the Moon and back in time to a terrifying 15th-century Czech battle. His expeditions make him a kind of operatic Mr Benn, although his adventures always seem to start and end in a beer barrel.

John Graham-Hall stars and Martin Andre conducts this co-production with Scottish Opera.
