Here at London Unattached, we are always pleased to hear about a new restaurant from chef Angela Hartnett OBE. Hartnett has become something of a National Treasure, honouring her Italian roots whilst being a stalwart of the London restaurant scene. She worked at Aubergine, Zafferano and L'Oranger before becoming head chef at Petrus. After winning a Michelin star at Petrus, Hartnett went on to open her own restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Murano in Mayfair and its sister restaurant Cafe Murano in Covent Garden.

This autumn, the Magic Flute returns to the Royal Opera House stage in a revival of David McVicar's acclaimed production. Running from 10 October to 3 November 2025, the Royal Opera House celebrates the 400th performance of Mozart's The Magic Flute, one of the most popular operas ever written. Mozart's coming-of-age story about true love and the search for wisdom is a repertoire staple of The Royal Opera and is always a crowd-pleaser.

A group of over 50 Ukrainian writers and artists, along with UK MPs and former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark, urged the Royal Ballet and Opera House to cancel Anna Netrebko's performance, citing her as a symbol of cultural propaganda for Russia's oppressive regime. They emphasize that inviting her is a moral conflict amid Russia's war against Ukraine, where cultural erasure of Ukraine is being systematically promoted.
