Tonight sees the world-premiere of Jonathan Dove’s UPRISING at Glyndebourne. This mammoth project has been a part of my life since Autumn 2023, when I first went to Jonathan’s house to discuss chorus allocations. (🧵)

An absolutely mammoth few days but, as always, endlessly inspiring to hear the incredible work being done by the next generation of opera singers in our conservatoires and universities, and a privilege to meet them as they make their first steps into this weird and wonderful career. 2024 is done! 😁

160 singers
320 (!) arias
4 cities
5 days
0 on-time trains
2 slightly delirious YAP directors

A lovely way to finish the year - travelling the UK with the brilliant Rebecca Meltzer as we audition for our 2025 cohort of young artist singers at Waterperry Opera Festival.

It’s starting to look (and sound) very Christmassy here at Glyndebourne, as we had the first of our Christmas Concerts for 2024 today. 🎄😁

A brilliant evening watching “Shakespeare Revisited” at the National Opera Studio tonight. A great mix of scenes and monologues by the current cohort of YA singers & pianists, wonderfully conducted by @colla-voce.bsky.social! Two more performances tomorrow, and only a handful of tickets left ☺️

A gorgeous few days over in Jersey, performing with dear friend Georgia Bishop. Over ten years of music making, fun and laughter. ☺️

Grateful to Art House Jersey for organising, and looking forward to further exploring plans in 2025 for more opera on this beautiful island…

Stormy weather up at Snape Maltings today. The reed beds absolutely mesmerising in the wind.

More news coming at 1500 today about ENO moving to Manchester? 🧐

At Glyndebourne, we're currently in the middle of chorus music calls for a very exciting new world premiere - UPRISING by Jonathan Dove. Our chorus is made up of 110 amateur singers (13-80 years old!). It's very wholesome, slightly chaotic, and a lot of fun 😁 We open Spring 2025 - do come!

Plenty of Bluesky in Brighton today. Lovely day of music-making and opera-planning with some wonderful people.

I don’t think I was “known” for anything on Twitter, but…

I temporarily became very internet famous for getting the chatbot of parcel delivery firm DPD to write poems swear at me. Has news organisations from around the world contacting me for weeks afterwards...
