Please make these a permanent feature! I don’t always have time for the full crossword, and would happily stop my NYT daily mini in exchange for this!

I am so, so proud of the work of every single person involved in the making of this production. It has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my career, and one that will stay with me forever. I am particularly proud of what our chorus have achieved - they really do steal the show (Cont. )

Then in January, our professional cast arrived, and it has been such a joy to work with them as they brought the show to life alongside our choirs. This show has world-class performers performing alongside total amateurs - and everything in between. (Cont.)

As assistant conductor and chorus master for this show, I have been in the lucky position to be across every aspect of this show. I first auditioned our chorus of 110 (!) local singers last June, and then spent a joyous autumn teaching them this music. (Cont.)

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. (🧵)

I cannot be the only one feeling a rising sense of despair at the direction of social media? First Twitter imploding, now Meta scrambling to appease the Trump administration. The amount of vitriol out there is staggering, and I increasingly find myself retreating from it all. All very depressing.

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.

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… 📸 Blake Watson

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!
