@1Password Hi all, I want to use my own passwords, but can't figure out how to enter them. All I get is the automatically generated ones. Thanks!

[William Spaulding @SmilingLuigi]

I concur wholeheartedly! And he’s an extremely supportive and wonderful colleague as well. Very sad to see him go. Thanks for posting.

The ROH orch making sure Paul Wynne Griffiths got some well-deserved recognition before Act 3 of #ROHTurandot in his last scheduled performance with the company before his retirement at the end of this season. An unbelievably experienced, kind & knowledgable conductor & mentor.

A touching look back at yesterday's performance of Songs for Ukraine

Watch the Royal Opera Chorus and more than 130 London-based Ukrainians, including individuals displaced by the war, as they perform a range of works from their collaborative project.

@deeplyclassical Now that’s just plain mean

[London Symphony Chorus @LSChorus]

Loved loved loved being a (tiny) part of this. And special thanks to @SmilingLuigi for his mime interpretation of Act 3 as we waited offstage for our cue 😃

@LSChorus @SmilingLuigi Such a pleasure always to sing with @SmilingLuigi

[William Spaulding @SmilingLuigi]

An exciting piece to do with an exciting group!

[London Symphony Chorus @LSChorus]

Starting our first project of 2023, and practising our mystery vowels for @SmilingLuigi. Looking forward to the concerts with @londonsymphony and @SirSimonRattle on January 11th and 13th!

[William Spaulding @SmilingLuigi]

Cheers, dear singers: you’re gonna be great!

[London Symphony Chorus @LSChorus]

"If all goes well we won't be singing the piece backwards." Always reassuring to get that possibility ruled out. And looking forward to the piano rehearsal for Katya Kabanova with @SirSimonRattle tomorrow 😃

[William Spaulding @SmilingLuigi]

@JosephBottum I can confirm this. In fact, I’ve put this conviction to the test by performing large sections of it for friends & colleagues. It’s no accident that Milton speaks of ‘musical delight’ in his little preface.
