Just been at FABULOUS dress rehearsal of crazy verismo mad-fest #OHPIsabeau. Truly world class singing from all principals, superb chorus, orchestra on fire! Bravissimi!

#OHPIsabeau Amazing AMAZING singing from Anne Sophie Duprels and David Butt Philip at dress rehearsal.

Just heard incredible snatch of #Hamletopera with @fatboyclayton and @barbarahannigan. Wow,wow, and thrice wow! Meaty music, real characters

Still love this flash mob of La rondine from 2011! The opera returns to OHP in 2017 with a brand new production https://t.co/bVBbiGZg9C

Still reeling after last night's AMAZING #OHPVoixHumaine with @duprels. Nothing held back. Total commitment. #OHPZaza going to be a blast!

[Warwick Thompson @ThompsonWarwick]

Meaty, witty, and padding-less talk from @MarkValencia before fab #OHPVoixHumaine tonight. Learned a lot. Thank you!

[Warwick Thompson @ThompsonWarwick]

Anne Sophie Duprels utterly harrowing in #OHPVoixHumaine. And SUPERB Pascal Rogé at piano. Can't wait for #ohp Zaza!

@AlexaCoghlan Isn't it? I'm pinching myself!

Hurrah to have opera reviews back in Metro! Even if Meistersinger is less a swansong, and more of a turkey. https://t.co/FnTqgXArdg

Worried about Brexit? Fretting over Ms Berry's piegate? No need. There's unbelievably good news. Metro is RUNNING OPERA REVIEWS AGAIN!

Just heard some of most ravishing Verdi singing imaginable. #NadinBenjamin is a Desdemona to rank with the very, very best.
