Up next: Sieglinde | Opéra national de Paris | 11-30 Nov, 2025
The rush I feel each time I reach this moment in the opera is indescribable. After endless suffering, Sieglinde finally sees a light at the end of her tunnel! You can hear in the orchestra alone what a turn Sieglinde's destiny has taken 💗

Happy World Opera Day!

The sensation that comes over us when we hear something really inspiring and beautiful sung by a human voice- it has a visceral effect on our nervous system. And I think that makes World Opera Day worth celebrating. 💗

Sieglinde and I are spending lots of time together this season: Here in Paris during the month of November, at La Scala in March, and at the Bayreuth Festival next summer! The more time we spend together, the more I discover about her and the closer I feel to her 💗

While I'm resting up for the start of my 2025-26 season, I'm still reminiscing about my Salzburg Festival debut with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Vienna Philharmonic 💗
Last season was an unbelievable one- I don't know how it will be topped! We will just have to wait and see 😉
