Spot the composer!!! Terrible photo of the beautiful fresco on the ceiling of Tonhalle Zürich, where I performed Bach Cantatas 10 & 140 and the Magnificat in Eb with the RIAS Kammerchor a few days ago. Final concert tonight (of the tour, and of my year!!!)

In light of a recent social media post, I’d like to share my own definitions on some opera terms!

🎭 Thrilled for my 3rd *Rigoletto* tonight! It's an **audio-described performance** with a pre-show **touch tour**—making opera accessible to all. Honored to be part of a company that champions inclusion. Here’s to sharing Verdi’s magic with everyone! 🌟🎶 #OperaForAll #Rigoletto

Completed a floor run this afternoon of one production of Rigoletto in Dublin, having just sung two performances of a different production in Southampton. What a mad and fabulous world I’m in right now! 🤡

Whatever Adele Thomas's travails as incoming joint CEO of WNO, she certainly makes an impact as a director. bachtrack.com/review-welsh...

A dark and disturbing Rigoletto from WNO at the Mayflower

First post on @bsky.app - my last Gilda for Welsh National Opera. This production has honestly been life-changing for me & I’m so grateful for every moment from being cast, entering the rehearsal room to performing on the stage. WNO is an INCREDIBLE company of wonderful artists. I love you all. 💜
