Huge grief about the industry on Twitter right now. To those not in opera, not in theatre, not in the arts - this is a politically motivated bloodbath. The Tory agenda has been ruthlessly applied to the arts meaning skilled jobs will be axed for a political slogan.
So excited to finally be able to share this news about my husband! AND I can finally announce we will be singing together in Simon Boccanegra at the Aalto January - June 2023! ❤️ #barisoplove#opera#Verdi#Aaltomusiktheater

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is about asking why there are so many conversations around how classical music can heal, but not about the prevalence of mental illness among classical musicians.
We are not only here to entertain, we are human and many are suffering

@corinnesoprano Ok good to know, thanks. Unfortunately my trachea is definitely swollen, so I am finding it difficult to sing for more than a few minutes. I read you’re singing Jenufa?! Amaaaaazeballs! Xoxoxo
Well I’m on Day 13 since first testing positive for COVID, and I am still up coughing most of the night. ENT appointment tomorrow, but just wondering how long any of you had the cough?
The only thing which would have made one either of these performances better would have been if we were ALL in it. When will the universe hear that I want to sing with my husband?!
How lucky am I to have sung Mimì in La Bohème on Sunday with my dear friend #LongLong as my Rodolfo?! And now I am sitting in Hannover watching my husband sing Rigoletto with Long as Duca. #smallworld#Boheme#rigoletto#Barisopmarriage
Final Dido and Aeneas tonight at the Aalto in Essen. Pretty sad to say goodbye to this piece. It has allowed us to heal during very turbulent times. Thank you Purcell! #Dido
@TedLBlack @RCMLondon It’s funny… I remember meeting you years ago and asking if you were a singer because I got singer vibes from you, and when you said you weren’t I was so confused! How things have changed… or not changed! 😘
