Super happy to see this nomination in particular. They say ‘riveting’ and ‘daring’, I say BONKERS, relevant, and hands down the musical highlight of my 2024. #RPSAwards @tippettmf.bsky.social
Staged for the first time since 1990, Birmingham Opera's riveting production of Tippett’s visionary New Year was a daring piece of artistic advocacy that engaged a fearless community chorus with a full-scale symphony orchestra and international soloists. #RPSAwards
