Shawan Jabarin, General Director of Al-Haq, examines the legal responsibilities of states in relation to Palestine and explores what recognition of Palestinian statehood should mean in practice under international law.Reflecting on both historical and contemporary legal obligations, Jabarin argues that recognition must be understood not as a symbolic gesture but as the beginning of meaningful action to uphold Palestinian self-determination, accountability and equal rights.The session explores:The legal significance of recognising the State of Palestine.Britain's historical role in Palestine and the legal implications of that history.Palestinian self-determination as a fundamental right under international law.The obligations of states regarding occupation, settlements, annexation and discrimination.The responsibilities of governments, corporations, financial institutions and other actors operating in occupied territory.International legal frameworks relating to accountability, including the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice.The relationship between humanitarian assistance and legal responsibility.The role of civil society, lawyers, academics, journalists and campaigners in promoting compliance with international law.Questions of state responsibility, accountability and reparations.The broader significance of international law in addressing ongoing conflicts and protecting human rights.Jabarin argues that international law provides a clear framework for addressing the denial of Palestinian rights, but that legal obligations often remain unfulfilled without political will and sustained public pressure. He emphasises the importance of accountability, equal application of legal principles and meaningful enforcement of international norms.Throughout the presentation, he reflects on the relationship between law, justice and political action, arguing that recognition should serve as a foundation for concrete measures rather than an endpoint in itself.The address concludes with a call for continued engagement from civil society, legal institutions and governments to ensure that international legal standards are applied consistently and that Palestinian rights are protected.Recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, Recognition is the Beginning, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.Shawan Jabarin is General Director of Al-Haq, one of the leading Palestinian human rights organisations and the oldest independent human rights group in the occupied Palestinian territory.

In this episode of The Gould Standard, Alexander Neef, General Director of the Opéra national de Paris, joins Brian Levine to reframe how we think about opera, and to provide a user-friendly on-ramp for opera-curious newcomers. Beginning with its roots in Renaissance Italy, Neef traces opera's evolution from courtly entertainment to a global cultural force,...

In this episode of OPERA Road Trip, host Sebastian F. Schwarz turns to France—one of the historic strongholds of the European operatic tradition—shaped by a dense network of public institutions, a strong culture of state support, and a long-standing belief in opera as a public good. From the court of Louis XIV and the founding of the Académie Royale de Musique to the grand opéra tradition of the 19th century and the decentralisation policies of the post-war period, the episode traces how France developed a uniquely structured and highly institutionalised operatic ecosystem. It is a system built on stability and public investment, yet increasingly confronted with financial pressures, evolving audience expectations, and the need for renewal. At the heart of the episode are conversations with two leading figures of today's French opera landscape: Valérie Chevalier, General Director of Opéra Orchestre National Montpellier Occitanie, reflecting on regional opera, decentralisation, and the realities of leading a major house outside Paris; and Stéphane Degout, one of France's most internationally acclaimed baritones, offering a performer's perspective on the French repertoire, artistic identity, and the relationship between national tradition and global careers. Together, their voices reveal a system negotiating continuity and change—raising questions about how a deeply rooted cultural model can adapt to the demands of the present while preserving its artistic core. Opera Road Trip is hosted by Sebastian F. Schwarz who is Casting Director of Milan's Teatro alla Scala and whose curriculum as an opera manager includes CEO and Artistic Director and Administrator positions at Theater an der Wien, Glyndebourne, Teatro Regio Torino, Festival della Valle d'Itria, Hamburgische Staatsoper and Wexford Festival Opera. He is Vice-president of the International Richard Strauss Society, member of the board of the European Musical Theatre Academy and co-founder of the Cesti Competition for Baroque Opera.

Schwarz den Blick auf Frankreich – eines der historischen Zentren der europäischen Operntradition, geprägt von einem dichten Netz öffentlicher Institutionen, einer ausgeprägten Kultur staatlicher Förderung und dem tief verwurzelten Verständnis von Oper als öffentliches Gut. Vom Hof Ludwigs XIV. und der Gründung der Académie Royale de Musique über die Grand opéra des 19. Jahrhunderts bis hin zu den Dezentralisierungspolitiken der Nachkriegszeit zeichnet die Episode nach, wie sich in Frankreich ein einzigartig strukturiertes und stark institutionalisiertes Opernsystem entwickelt hat. Es ist ein System, das auf Stabilität und öffentlicher Finanzierung beruht, zugleich jedoch zunehmend mit finanziellem Druck, sich wandelnden Publikumserwartungen und dem Bedarf nach Erneuerung konfrontiert ist. Im Zentrum der Episode stehen Gespräche mit zwei prägenden Persönlichkeiten der heutigen französischen Opernlandschaft: Valérie Chevalier, Generaldirektorin des Opéra Orchestre National Montpellier Occitanie, die über regionale Oper, Dezentralisierung und die Realität der Leitung eines großen Hauses außerhalb von Paris spricht; sowie Stéphane Degout, einer der international renommiertesten französischen Baritone, der eine künstlerische Perspektive auf das französische Repertoire, Fragen der Identität und das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen nationaler Tradition und internationaler Karriere einbringt. Gemeinsam zeichnen ihre Stimmen das Bild eines Systems im Spannungsfeld von Kontinuität und Wandel – und werfen die Frage auf, wie sich ein tief verwurzeltes kulturelles Modell an die Anforderungen der Gegenwart anpassen kann, ohne seinen künstlerischen Kern zu verlieren. Opera Road Trip wird moderiert von Sebastian F. Schwarz, Casting Director des Mailänder Teatro alla Scala, dessen Laufbahn als Opernmanager Positionen als CEO, Künstlerischer Leiter und Administrator am Theater an der Wien, bei Glyndebourne, am Teatro Regio Torino, beim Festival della Valle d'Itria, an der Hamburgischen Staatsoper und beim Wexford Festival Opera umfasst. Er ist Vizepräsident der Internationalen Richard-Strauss-Gesellschaft, Mitglied des Vorstands der European Musical Theatre Academy und Mitbegründer des Cesti Competition for Baroque Opera.

Schwarz se tourne vers la France — l'un des bastions historiques de la tradition lyrique européenne — façonnée par un dense réseau d'institutions publiques, une forte culture de soutien étatique et une conviction durable de l'opéra comme bien public. De la cour de Louis XIV et de la fondation de l'Académie Royale de Musique à la tradition du grand opéra au XIXe siècle, jusqu'aux politiques de décentralisation de l'après-guerre, l'épisode retrace la manière dont la France a développé un écosystème lyrique à la fois fortement structuré et hautement institutionnalisé. Un système fondé sur la stabilité et l'investissement public, mais aujourd'hui confronté à des pressions financières croissantes, à l'évolution des attentes du public et à la nécessité de se renouveler. Au cœur de l'épisode, des entretiens avec deux figures majeures du paysage lyrique français actuel : Valérie Chevalier, directrice générale de l'Opéra Orchestre National Montpellier Occitanie, qui revient sur l'opéra en région, la décentralisation et les réalités de la direction d'une grande maison en dehors de Paris ; et Stéphane Degout, l'un des barytons français les plus acclamés à l'international, qui apporte le point de vue de l'interprète sur le répertoire français, l'identité artistique et le lien entre tradition nationale et carrière internationale. Ensemble, leurs regards dessinent un système en équilibre entre continuité et transformation — et interrogent la capacité d'un modèle culturel profondément ancré à s'adapter aux exigences du présent tout en préservant son essence artistique.

Schwarz, directeur de casting du Teatro alla Scala de Milan, dont le parcours de directeur d'opéra comprend des fonctions de CEO, directeur artistique et administrateur au Theater an der Wien, à Glyndebourne, au Teatro Regio de Turin, au Festival della Valle d'Itria, à l'Opéra d'État de Hambourg et au Wexford Festival Opera.

From teaching English in Vietnam to importing rice worth over a million dollars in Ghana, and why the brutal truth about building trust is that you need to be brought up right where your yes is your yes and your no is your no but you also need to remember that your surroundings matter because you need to surround yourself with winners and listen to their problems and provide solutions to their problems so you can gain their trust, the young man who learned from his own personal experiences that every time you meet a new person you try to find their problem and figure out who they are so you can utilize the resources they have the right way making them happy while you gain more than them, the English teacher who moved from the Philippines to Vietnam in 2019 and met new people and made friends with a very big man in the country who introduced him to his father, a 65 year old General Director of Vietnamese government companies that had never employed any foreigner since its beginning and had never explored outside their territories, the confident young man who was asked what can you do and said I can take your company across Vietnam even though he didn't even know what he was talking about but had that confidence which led to the creation of an international commercial department where he was made the lead, the department head who started searching for whatever he could do for that company making deals and transacting internationally with South Korea and Japan bringing in multiple international deals and getting commission from the company every time, the 24 or 25 year old who made his first million dollars in his personal account proving that when people say they made their first million it is real because he lived it and saw the money with his own eyes, the entrepreneur who came back home thinking he could start something like Grab the Southeast Asian motorbike Uber service and registered a company called Ryder Group with a Y and built the app before realizing it's illegal to use motorcycles for commercial purposes in Ghana only for delivery of packages, the businessman who spent a lot of money from other people on the failed motorbike venture but his own money was still there so he reached back to those people and said we will not be allowed to operate because of this and they didn't pull back because of the trust they had, the employee who came across a document of a shipment of rice from Vietnam to Ghana that he was never supposed to see but took a peak and saw a whole vessel of rice shipment and studied the numbers and something just hit him that this could be it, the young man looking for a legacy that would send his name and make his family proud and help his community even though he had the option to relocate to Switzerland and give his money to a Swiss bank and stay and enjoy the dividends every quarter like his two friends who are currently there doing exactly that, the son who chose not to be selfish and go to Switzerland and forget about everything because he knew what he was coming from and knew the home he came from and knew he had a responsibility to his family and his neighbor and his community and his country, the importer who returned with his money and turned the company and updated the activities from the original plan to importation of general goods and sought the right paperwork to import stuff and did a market research before bringing in a heavy shipment over a million US dollars as the first shipment going all in.

Polish opera takes centre stage in this episode of Opera Road Trip. From Warsaw to Kraków, Gdańsk and Poznań, Sebastian F. Schwarz explores how Poland built one of Europe's most resilient and decentralised operatic ecosystems. Introduced at the royal court in the 17th century, opera became a powerful tool of national identity — especially during the 19th century partitions. Stanisław Moniuszko's Halka, Straszny dwór and Hrabina established a Polish operatic canon that still defines the repertoire today. In the 20th century, Karol Szymanowski's Król Roger reimagined Polish identity through myth and modernism, Krzysztof Penderecki expanded operatic sound into radical new territories, and Mieczysław Weinberg's Pasażerka confronted memory, exile and trauma. The episode features Boris Kudlička, General Director of the Polish National Opera; soprano Olga Pasychnik; and director Sir David Pountney, whose productions have helped bring Polish repertoire to international audiences via OperaVision. Poland emerges as a living operatic culture — balancing heritage, innovation and international collaboration across four centuries. Opera Road Trip is hosted by Sebastian F. Schwarz, whose curriculum as an opera manager includes positions at Theater an der Wien, Glyndebourne, Teatro Regio Torino, Festival della Valle d'Itria, Hamburgische Staatsoper and Wexford Festival Opera. He is Vice-President of the International Richard Strauss Society, member of the board of the European Musical Theatre Academy and co-founder of the Cesti Competition for Baroque Opera.

The OECD Report for Regional Policy for Greece Post-2020 (https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/regional-policy-for-greece-post-2020_cedf09a5-en.html) revealed that 32% of the population lives in predominantly rural regions which is significantly higher than the OECD average share of rural population which is around 25%. Of those living in predominantly rural regions (~3.4 million people), roughly 3 million live in remote rural regions meaning Greece has one of the largest shares in this demographic among OECD countries. Recorded live from the OECD Rural Development Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Greek officials Vasiliki Pantelopoulou (Secretary-General of the Partnership Agreement) and Christos Kyrkoglou (General Director of Monitoring and Implementation) explain Greece's approach to rural urban development under the European Union's Cohesion Policy and the role of Integrated Territorial Investments (ITIs).

As always, the programme concludes with a new edition of our language corner — Slovak Sound Check.
