Tomorrow evening I’m conducting @RoyalAcadMusic side-by-side with Riot Ensemble, including my Wolf Lieder and three new pieces by RAM composers. Duke’s Hall, 6:30pm. Soloist @hdienessoprano is sounding utterly fabulous. https://t.co/EbSbmJ89QR

Composer Julian Grant has alerted me to this new @MetOpera merchandise: a Peter Grimes jeans jacket. Now pondering my own lines:
–Pelleas et Melisande hair conditioner
–Eugene Onegin writing paper
–La boheme cough mixture
–Lucia di Lammermoor kitchen knives
Other ideas welcomed.
