@s_redway @RoyalOperaHouse Not that I can think of, though Turn of the Screw has a ghost element... Please write Star Trek, the opera - my Dad would be so happy ๐
Quick headspace change, from Wonderland @Opera_North to sci-fi/horror @RoyalOperaHouse. I'm exploring the role of Rose, a teenager on a mission to rescue her friend Ash from The Wild in a new opera by @LJBcomposer and @s_redway, currently in R&D. So much fun! ๐คฉ #NewMusic#Opera
@s_redway @RoyalOperaHouse They're great aren't they? Your libretto is brilliant โค๏ธ This dislocated world and mutating threat... I've always loved horror and sci-fi - it's amazing to actually be in one!
So sad to say goodbye to my amazing year 13 vocal students as they go off on their adventures. What a bunch of legends. Can't wait for this lot to show up on the circuit in a few years! It's been a privilege and a pleasure, you guys. โค๏ธ
When you leave 2 hours to complete a 1 hour journey in London, but will STILL be late because the trains are so unreliable. 1 cancelled, 1 late. Fuming. I'll leave 3 hours tomorrow, shall I? It's almost quicker to get here from Leeds!
Lovely to be back @Opera_North_Ed@Opera_North covering fabby @JuliaMariko (Alice) in Will Todd's 'Wonderland Restored'. First day observing today. The music is glorious - I can't believe I'm just discovering it now!
Google maps: 'what did you think of stage door at ROH?' Well, the door itself is lovely. Backstage, I'm helpless, and got lost between rehearsal rooms, of course! But if there's a theatre I don't get lost in I've yet to meet it. Is a sense of direction something you can learn?
I think this is the busiest June I've ever had. Two (brand new!) operas for me, and concerts every week for James. Some seriously fast memorising going on, and a lot of commuting ๐ฅด๐คฉ
Iโm on the hunt for a FANTASTIC Assistant Company Manager at @Opera_North, to assist me in scheduling and managing a wonderful group of artists on a season by season basis. Iโm looking for somebody with a deep rooted love for theatre and live music.

It's always great when a friend does something fab, and I'm so pleased series 2 of #NeuroticLiterature has arrived! These genius, unsettling stories stick around in your head long after the first hearing. Wonderful work, as always, Mr Lark.
@SofiaLivotov @annalapwood@TheCBSO Key point for me is that is needs the artist's agreement - with that, everyone knows what to expect. But filming with no warning / agreement is a different thing.
@McKayEli Absolutely. This happened to me at an oratorio gig recently. It was someone wanting to record a pal of theirs I expect, but it was during one of my solos, and it was hugely stressful. Instead of concentrating on making music and telling the story, I was worried about how to react
