Unable to rehearse with singers at the moment, but my dog has stepped up to sing along instead.

Our beautiful new publicity image for W11 Opera JUKEBOX by Harry at Sutherland-Hawes McLean - Design Consultants (https://t.co/gLFzvh8SVT) which reimagines the shows involved as vintage ‘singles’, ready to be played on our JUKEBOX.

More Lockdon Vignettes from our brilliant 14 - 18 year olds. A tired NHS worker sings about her experience of the pandemic. #cyodigitaloperamaking

A young person walks through a locked down city at night. We're blown away by the quality of what the young people on our Digital Opera Making Workshops have produced. Everybody involved in the creation, performance and production is 16-18.

Super-exciting week, as we introduce children at primary schools around Cambridge to Earth by the brilliant @RussHepplewhite and @MichaelRosenYes. They'll e-meet the composer, learn a brand new song and have the chance to respond creatively. Thanks @ace_national and @FridayPMs!

In response to the current Covid-19 pandemic #W11Opera has moved online this year for our annual production #W11OperaJUKEBOX

This unique production offers our young cast (9-18yrs) a safe creative environment and culminates in a film premiere in December 2020 #W11OperaRocks

Relieved that today's guidance for schools is substantially different from Monday's leaked document. Music as integral to a broad / balanced curriculum; peripatetic instrumental teaching enabled; practical music-making in small groups up to 15...

[CambridgeYouthOpera @CamYouthOpera]

Start of wk 3 of digital opera marking and the participants have already produced 2 short compositions, a libretto plan, set design, original vocal warm-up, harp performance and some serious research. Can't wait to see where this will take us. Thanks @ace_national and @TNLUK!

@StevenIsserlis Rufus is a cavapoo and he says it was his first attempt at jazz improv. He’s glad everyone is enjoying it!

A HUGE thank you to @ace_national for emergency funding enabling us to adapt our free, open access opera making activities and to work creatively online with children, young people and our partners. Thanks to #NationalLottery players for making it possible. @DCMS @ace_southeast

[Alastair Chilvers @ajnchilvers]

@RussHepplewhite Absolutely brilliant!! Congratulations, I can’t wait to hear the rest!

Plod, plod, plod, plod... We're delighted to launch Earth, the first song of our new collection EVERYTHING: music by @RussHepplewhite and lyrics by @MichaelRosenYes.
Extra special for us to release it with a digital premiere from @LonYouthChoirs @RachelStaunton
