“This,” wrote Edward Elgar, “is the best of me.”
I’ve always wanted to sing this deeply felt masterpiece of life and death with orchestra, soloists and chorus singing the roles of friends, demons and angels.

Don Pasquale review – an ingenious take on Donizetti’s comedy at West Green House Opera | The world turned upside down ‘down under’ in Hampshire

"Thomas Elwin [...]has the requisite ability to combine powerful line with expressive complexity"

LA STRANIERA #ChelseaOperaGroup #StephenBarlow @cadoganhall.bsky.social - Diva power saves minor #Bellini: Australian soprano @helenadix.bsky.social is honoured by fine fellow singers, but not her conductor, says @davidnice.bsky.social theartsdesk.com/opera/la-str...

With Helena Dix in top form, bel canto fireworks illuminate La straniera, a Bellini rarity given a welcome outing by Chelsea Opera Group at Cadogan Hall with Thomas Elwin, Georgia Mae Bishop & Dan D'Souza, conductor Stephen Barlow. My concert review:

The disc is worth getting for Liszt's Petrarch Sonnets, throw in songs by Augusta Holmès and Clemence de Grandval and you have a winner - le vase brisé from Thomas Elwin & Lana Bode on Voces8 Records. My record review:

My first solo album, Le vase brisé, is coming out at the end of the month, with friend and collaborator Lana Bode - this screenshot from our album booklet is the most important page. Without these people there would be no album. Thank you all!!

In preparation for filming La Traviata on location, we rehearsed for six weeks in London with the full cast.

Here are Roderick Williams, Smelo Mahlangu, Tom Elwin, Susana Gaspars, Katie Bray and Chuma Sijeqa all hard at work perfecting their performances.
