A meeting of the minds at Cafe am Neuen See as @markravenhill.bsky.social and I discuss the upcoming @regentsopera.bsky.social #Salome… Also: excellent burgers…

A bird shat on me in Clapham Junction. That’s good luck, right??

I am only now getting round to posting @boulezian.bsky.social’s most thoughtful review of our Götterdämmerung…. As well as offering (quite well-earned, ahem) praise, he is also insightful and asks the questions that indeed we asked of the work.

Hey @bbcradio3.bsky.social, how about a shoutout for the @regentsopera.bsky.social Ring Cycle, the 2nd & final of which starts today at York Hall, Bethnal Green: Das Rheingold at 5pm. Some tix still available…. 22 piece orchestra, interntional singrs; I’m conducting. Directed by Caroline Staunton.

Yes, I'm posting a review - of Rheingold the other night, from @boulezian.bsky.social - who simply gets it. There are still seats available for the remaining shows, an additional Gödä on 20th, and a Ring Cycle starting on 23rd. It's been such a joy. seenandheard-international.com/2025/02/an-e...

Ooh, the whole @regentsopera.bsky.social #Ring thing feels even more real when you hold the gold-embossed souvenir programme…

3 times a year we run "orchestral study days" where anyone with an instrument can come and play through an opera - usually a particularly mad one - with a professional cast. We could have told you this! www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

End of Week 1 of the @regentsopera.bsky.social Götterdämmerung. An extraordinary start. Tomorrow: orchestral repertoire day on Korngold: Das Wunder der Heliane. Pictured: Simon Wilding creates art by taping a banana to a plinth.

Day 2 of the @regentsopera.bsky.social #RingCycle and I’m on my way to let in the SM to draw the stage in tape on the rehearsal room floor, so Director can get started. Starting with the love scene in the Prologue. Watching one of my best mates getting jiggy with my wife... Gonna be weird.

Day 1 of the @regentsopera.bsky.social #Ring rehearsals. So far the 40 minutes on the Piccadilly line from digs to reh venue feels longer than the opera…

Just in case you were wondering what my life was about right now…
