“My look,” he says, “makes me not an easy sell. I don’t fit a certain pigeonhole – and opera loves pigeonholes.” Well said @fatboyclayton.

This one. I was obsessed with this one and wanted to be a professional singer after this. Thanks @Bryn_Terfel !

Ok twitter: tell me a 21st century opera (NOT chamber) with full chorus that would truly (and why) interest a young(ish) audience, musically and topically (and I love all the Ades, Saariaho, Benjamin new ‚classics‘ but… truly please!)

“What does he do?”
‘He’s a conductor’
“No but, like, for a job?”
‘That is his…’
“No but how does he earn a LIVING?!”
‘He’s literally been knighted for…’
“I can’t put that, I’m putting farmer, it’s done now”

I’m so happy @BYOpera is able to honour Serena in this way. Serena Fenwick supported more singers than anyone will probably ever know and made a career a possibility for so many of us. Thank you Serena. ❤️

In 2023, remember to take time making music you actually want to make. If it’s too hip for your teacher, do it anyway. If it’s too weird, you’ll be pleased to know that there are a LOT of weirdos out here 1/3

"Art is an inherently hopeful act... Every time an architect imagines a new building, an artist envisions the first stroke of a brush on a white canvas... That act is done in hope; the creator reaches out in hope to call the world into that creation." from Refractions @NavPress

🎶 Médée, Pinchgut Opera
First performed in 1693, this baroque opera explores justice, loyalty, migration + family annihilation – with pertinent relevance to a 21st century suffering the consequences of the pandemic, writes Daniela Kaleva (@Deakin). bit.ly/3H7fEpp

As we get ready for the final performance of The Yeomen of the Guard tonight, we're looking back on this special performance of Gilbert & Sullivan's 'I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General' from @jsavournin that we surprised audiences with during the run.

A wonderful production indeed. Loved it! Great review here by Shamistha de Soysa.
This @pinchgut production of Charpentier’s Baroque opera is a marvel, thanks to meticulous research, top-notch performances and ingenious interpretation.

Another @pinchgut beauty realised tonight with the emotively fluid music of Charpentier’s Médée combined with an unbroken succession of superb singing @CityRecitalHall in a deeply piercing story characterised by both a horrifying and pitiful outcome.
