Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

After all the wrangling, scandals and executive head-rolling, the Royal Opera House's transformation is finally complete, and it is opening its doors. To celebrate, the Royal Ballet and Royal Opera join together to present a gala programme, featuring guest dancers Sylvie Guillem (above), Irek Mukhamedov and Angel Corella, and guest singers Placido Domingo and Deborah Polaski. Want to go? Forget it, the audience is an invited one for the Wednesday performance. The programme does get repeated in a public performance the following Saturday, but there again forget that too - it's been sold out for weeks. However, you can watch the first performance on television, in a simultaneous broadcast on BBC2.

BBC2, Wed, 8pm
