This is very possibly au revoir rather than adieu, but for now you can still find me where the sky is blue or on the instant gram

I saw a War Requiem at the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos that was deeply felt and sung and played with precision and generosity. Read about it here:

Curtain calls after War Requiem with the São Carlos forces at the Teatro Camões. A work that hasn’t lost its power given in a gripping performance from forces that had been superbly prepared. The solo singing was excellent, with Dos Santos’ tenor solos sung with such feeling

I saw a Salome @operaballetvl yesterday that was an impressive show to look at, thrillingly played & conductor but with a very problematic account of the title role. Read about it here: operatraveller.com/2025/01/1…

Should of course read 'conducted' and not 'conductor' although Alejo Pérez is a fantastic Straussian

Curtain calls after Salome @operaballetvl A very visual staging by Mondtag that gives so much to reflect on. Pérez & his orchestra were sensational as was Smoriginas’ Jochanaan. Cook’s Salome had plenty of scenic energy but her singing took the pitches on the page as suggestions

Curtain calls after Innocence at the Musiktheater im Revier. A confirmation that this work is a true 21st-century masterpiece. The quality of the orchestral playing & choral singing was superb. Stöppler’s staging was logical and effective and it was honestly sung

The first review of 2025 is up! Last night I saw a decent repertoire performance of La bohème at the Oper Köln, very well conducted, with a youthful cast in a thoughtful staging. Read more here:

Curtain calls after La bohème at Oper Köln. A decent repertoire performance from a youthful cast in a staging that has feeling and humanity. That said, the house can’t move back to Offenbachplatz soon enough

2024 in 16 images. From Hamburg, to Buenos Aires, Palermo to São Paulo. As always, social media only really sees the good tings & not the struggles behind the scenes. But overall, I’m feeling much gratitude for having had so many beautiful moments
