Stuart’s first time conducting Wagner was an absolute triumph. Wagner does seem to come across better in concert stagings. Well deserved standing ovation @ScottishOpera

[Royal Scottish National Orchestra @RSNO]

What a night! Bravo to our incredible soloist @EthanDavidLoch for a stunning performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No1 👏

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

A very funny Don Pasquale to open the @ScottishOpera season.with some excellent young singers.what great careers they have ahead of them. Especially excited by Filipe Manu as Ernesto.what a voice he has

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Outstanding, breathtaking start to the new @RSNO season. Rapturous applause at the end of Mahler 2 at a sold out royal concert hall

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Minimalist production #rboonegin @rbo_org allows for greater characterisation . Lensky & Olga are more involved than normal. Enjoyed that more than I thought I would

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Wonderful first visit this season to the newly named @rbo_org #rboalice great Alice by Akane Takada & outstanding queen by Mayara Magri

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Some great production next season @ScottishOpera looking forward to seeing The Makropulos Affair conducted by Martyn Brabbins. & a new production of the Merry Widow.

@operamagazine @glyndebourne @LyricOpera @BBCSO @TorontoSymphony @MelbSymphony Devastating news. He was responsible for one of my greatest nights at the opera. Die Walkure at Edinburgh Festival with @RSNO . A truly wonderful conductor. Will be sadly missed. RIP

Does swan lake get any better than this. Vadim & Marianela so in sync with each other. Giving a spellbinding performance. #rohswanlake

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Production

A lot of it i liked, dont know if thats just down to Aigul. Be interesting to see what the cast are like. Definitely haals a strong vibe with his Cav/pag Production which i liked a lot. Dont think Don Jose's mother added a lot #rohcarmen

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Strong night for the singers Aigul really lives and breathes Carmen. And this brought out a great performance from Piotr as Don Jose & Olga was a great Micaela #rohcarmen @RoyalOperaHouse

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

A special performance of Verdi requiem tonight Soloists were amazing. Orchestra on fire. But the chorus were the stars of the show @BBCSSO

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Fantastic soloists for tonights Verdi Requiem @BBCSSO

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Such a genius idea to have extended scenes in a concert performance. Had all of act 3 of Faust. Great singing from all involved @RWoodBaritone Alok Kumar . Catriona Morison, Alexandra Lowe @ScottishOpera #frenchcollection

[Robert Billingham @bosoko]

Wonderful Rachmaninov 2nd piano concerto tonight. Beautifully played by Boris Giltburg. Huge ovation at the end @BBCSSO
