So, I rehearse Figaro @westgreenopera_ for a week, return home, and there’s a pumpkin growing out of our compost. @richard_studer says this is normal, but is it?

Rehearsing Le Nozze for @westgreenopera_ with @LorenaPazNieto @aelyddon @richard_studer @AliceT_piano Is there anything trickier in Mozart than the little Sus/Che duet in Act 2 when they’re both running around like headless 🐓s? 😂

Tonight my trusty score and I embark on our 51st Bohème together - one for every year of my life 😂. @robynlynevans @GalinaSoprano @psmithbaritone @Midwalesopera @EnsCymru @TorchTheatre. In this crazy world this show, at least, has been a joy 😀🙏

Just had a brilliant day in Cardiff conducting Janacek with the fabulous @BBCNOW. My first bit of opera with actual live musicians for almost 8 months. And the vaccine news arrived half way through! @Midwalesopera @SaxophoneLil

Today I finished the score for Mrs Peachum’s Guide to Love and Marriage. Derived from John Gay, reworked by @richard_studer, tours this autumn @Midwalesopera, @carolyndobbin. No overture yet - they’ll have to lock me in a room (like they did with Rossini)!

Great interview with Emily Maitlis. Take 15 mins and have a listen. Especially liked the bit about ‘words’, ‘platitudes’ and ‘character’. She’s brill 👍🏻 One to One - Emma Freud talks to Emily Maitlis - @bbcradio4 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000674…

The @BBCFOUR @JohnBridcut Janet Baker film is just as extraordinary as everyone’s been saying, right to the very last frame. I don’t imagine I’ll see a more touching & memorable piece of TV this year. It’s still on @BBCiPlayer for another couple of weeks. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

Just conducted my fortieth Tosca (with @Midwalesopera, fab cast led by @PritchardElin, @CharneRochford, Nic Folwell and the brilliant @EnsCymru at Theatr Clwyd @ClwydTweets). After all these years it’s still a bloody difficult little show! 😉

A fab evening last night at @natoperastudio seeing a host of great students performing scenes by Britten both staged and on film, led by Keith Warner and @jonathanhas1. The scenes from Gloriana and Turn of the Screw were awesome - these guys are ready!
