This summer promises to be another feast @WaterperryOpera! I’m especially looking forward to Semele with @rebecca_meltzer but there is so much more besides!
Have very much enjoyed my first visit to Portugal, and am looking forward to rounding it off with final performances of this wonderful piece today! @GulbenkianMusic

「第582回定期演奏会」初日終演。マエストロ・ベイジェント、爽やかに日本デビューを飾りました。田部京子さんのモーツァルトも耳に心地よく、ぜひ大勢の方にお聴きいただきたいです！明日は3時開演です。
Having an amazing time in Osaka, and much looking forward to the first concert tonight (even if the previous occupants of the dressing room are a little daunting…!)
.@BertieBaigent debuts with the @Osaka_phil conducting Lili Boulanger, Dvořák and Mozart.

At the beginning of a VERY long journey to to Osaka by taxi, train, plane, monorail, Shinkansen, subway, and finally foot…but I can’t wait to be back in Japan and to spend the week with the @Osaka_phil and Imogen Cooper for a wonderful programme of Boulanger, Mozart, and Dvorak!
Another wonderful year at @WaterperryOpera. Thanks to everyone who made it happen — a pleasure as ever, and especially to work on a show with @rebecca_meltzer again after seven years! Already enjoying plotting new projects for next summer…
“With music-making as exceptional as this, Waterperry’s Turn of the Screw is a fine example of the company’s ambition and vision.”
Delighted with this review from @operatoday — still two chances to see this show! waterperryoperafestival.co.u…
