Relatively hot on the heels of the wonderful @IrishNatOpera production of Vivaldi's L'Olimpiade... I'm off to Verdi's La Traviata this evening... and the summer's coming 🌞
Terribly pleased with myself 😀

@IrishNatOpera I’ve heard many countertenors on recordings but the first time I heard one live was a very strange experience indeed.
I’m still not convinced it’s a natural singing voice as opposed to a technique which although any man can do, some are undoubtedly excellent at executing.

Feature on @IrishNatOpera tour of Vivaldi's L’Olimpiade from @RTEArena
With a beautiful little appetiser from mezzo Alexandra Urquiola at 9:15 singing 'Sta piangendo la tortorella' from Act II. Absolutely gorgeous. #LoveOpera

@tonyprinciotti Ha!
From one of the worlds greatest instigators of mass murder. Not surprising at all. An appallingly evil creature.

An inspirational woman.

@OperawireNews A wonderful conductor.

@NatOperaHouse I’ll move on… but thanks anyway.

[Conal O'Broin @operakey]

@RTEArchives @CorkCityBallet Wonderful footage. The dance of the little swans. Beautiful, elegant & cultured… love it.

[Conal O'Broin @operakey]

@RTElyricfm Delighted to see.
Dislike RTE as an organisation to put it mildly but great to see the Classical & Opera community growing.
Well done the 'Lyric' team. #LoveOpera

@nntt_opera Now THAT is a beautiful theatre. #LoveOpera

Such a pity to hear that @Operanow is moving to quarterly & will be a supplement to @GramophoneMag (itself a great publication).
Have been reading & enjoying Opera Now for many years. Looks like it may be becoming the 'Operaish' section of Gramophone. #LoveOpera

@journalofmusic A great site. I love opera & I’m on the newsletter mailing list. No matter how busy I am I’m up to date on what’s happening with opera & choral. Excellent.

[Conal O'Broin @operakey]

Thrilled to see @IrishNatOpera touring L'Olimpiade by #Vivaldi this spring. Much more to him than the 4 Seasons... his operas are joyous, uplifting & beautiful. #LoveOpera

[Conal O'Broin @operakey]

Late new year's resolution.
Read much more of Robert Thicknesse on #Opera in @TheCriticMag Highly recommended. What a breath of fresh air. #LoveOpera

[Conal O'Broin @operakey]

@Operanow @operalastnight I don’t think folks worry about this at all. The only people I ever hear worrying about it is the opera establishment.

[Conal O'Broin @operakey]

@CorkCityBallet @irishexaminer @IrishTimes @IrishTimesCultr @irishtatler @CorkOperaHouse @corkcitycouncil @corkbeo @NeilRedFM @TheGNShow @IrishMirror That’s a very interesting picture of Tchaikovsky. Goodness, the travails Armenia has suffered since then.

[Conal O'Broin @operakey]

Very interesting piece by @dafyddhw about Ulster Touring Opera @UTOtweet in @Operanow July issue.
Bringing #Opera to audiences North & South. Excellent!
