Letter: No decent climate TV, so try an opera instead

Published 21 May 2025

From Meredith Lloyd-Evans, Duxford, Cambridgeshire, UK

Bethan Ackerley asked for a climate change TV drama that can make a big impact. There may not be one, but there is Jonathan Dove’s new opera, Uprising, inspired by Greta Thunberg’s story. It has a tremendous impact that leaves many audiences and quite a few community chorus members crying at the end, including me when I sang in the bass section at a performance of it at Saffron Hall near Cambridge. It deserves to run and run(26 April, p 19).
