Astonished by the miracle that is the @lfotweet Ring Cycle, after a staggering Gotterdammerung tonight. @LeeBisset’s Brunnhilde, the Wotan of @PaulCareyJones and the Hagen of Julian Close as good as I’ve seen anywhere.
Kudos to @LeeBisset for a searing portrayal of Brünnhilde in Götterdämmerung at @lfotweet yesterday. In a dark, male-dominated opera, Bisset's passionately sung performance was a gleaming symbol of fierce intelligence and female agency.
If you have a chance, please vote to grant funding for this incredible new interactive piece. Voting closes at 11am today, and they are currently in second place.
Excited to be finally able to reveal what @OperaMaestro#davidangus is going to conduct at the @KungligaOperan Stockholm at the beginning of 2023!!

#BLO Artistic Advisor & set designer for #LaBohème John Conklin is known for his work with opera companies throughout the world. Watch as Conklin describes how he and Yuval Sharon brought this production to life through his thoughtful stage design: https://t.co/R51MMjirOi
On Benjamin Britten’s 50th birthday, William Walton wrote: ‘Your music shines out as a beacon in a chaotic and barren musical world.’
Britten also wrote about Walton’s influence: ‘I’d got in a muddle… you showed me the way of being relaxed and fresh and intensely personal.’
Heading home after first live concert since lockdown. Lovely @rpoonline in @cadoganhall for a Valentine's concert with Gemma Sommerfield and @luisgomestenor.
Proud of my friend and @BostLyricOpera colleague Vimbayi Kaziboni, who led a fascinating concert this afternoon with the BBC Philharmonic. His performance starts 30 minutes into the programme.

Thrilled to announce our first production, Béla Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle!
We turn the traditional interpretation on its head and retell the opera through the lens of a family living with dementia. https://t.co/q9qkZnGmd2
