It's like 2019 on https://t.co/Z1OhG7itqV except I didn't deplace myself. Reviews of Jenůfa from @StaatsoperBLN Ariadne from @operaballetvl Aida from @operadeparis & Salome from @teatroallascala all up for your reading pleasure.
Tonight I'm very much looking forward to Ariadne auf Naxos @operaballetvl Why not join me in watching from 20:00 CET? Right here: https://t.co/sb6fPUAqsT
Thoughts on tonight's satisfying Ariadne from @operaballetvl Always honestly sung and in its soaring lines and livewire comedy offering us consolation in these difficult times

For today's opera matinee chez nous, I'm going to @operaballetvl for their first performance with orchestra & chorus since last March - a gala concert with music from Beethoven, Verdi, Berlioz & more. Watch it with me here: https://t.co/SNBqEVyG4p
Soweit ich das überblicke, haben aus der EU (Regierungsebene) bisher gratuliert:
🇧🇪 Regierungschef
🇮🇪 Regierungschef
🇩🇪 Außenminister Maas wünscht sich „transatlantischen Neuanfang“.
Bisher noch nix aus Slowenien 🇸🇮. ;)
I enjoyed getting the chance to see a genuine rarity, Schreker's Schmied von Gent @operaballetvl in March. They'll be streaming it with a live chat with dramaturg Piet De Volder on Friday night - definitely worth catching up with. As always with this house superbly performed.
Watched Parsifal from @operaballetvl today. What a remarkable Kundry @Arianetanja is. Voice of dark silk with staggering ease on top, the voice soaring ever higher without a hint of strain. Really impressive
Leigh Melrose sang the Schmied. Absolutely tireless physically, he gave so much of himself to us. Kai Rüütel was his unnamed wife, singing with gentle lyricism in places. Daniel Arnaldos constantly moving on stage & singing with a youthful tenor
As expected @operaballetvl the performance quality was exceptionally high - the house orchestra and choruses on blazing form, filling the room in a wall of sound & throwing themselves with great physicality into everything asked of them. This is a company at the top of its game
