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.

Don Kent's film of Stéphane Braunschweig's 2007 production of 'Die Walküre' for Aix-en-Provence captures the detail of individual expression and the scale and severity of the sets.

This is an intense, measured drama. The sound quality is superb and the performance of the Berliner Philharmoniker under Simon Rattle is breathtaking. Eva-Maria Westbroek's Sieglinde dominates, with Robert Gambill as the exhausted Siegmund, Mikhail Petrenko as a glacial Hunding, and Eva Johansson as the wild-eyed Brünnhilde.
