“My look,” he says, “makes me not an easy sell. I don’t fit a certain pigeonhole – and opera loves pigeonholes.” Well said ⁦@fatboyclayton⁩. If we are to make progress in the arts, then we need to make sure that inclusivity includes everyone. theguardian.com/music/2023/n…

Ok twitter: tell me a 21st century opera (NOT chamber) with full chorus that would truly (and why) interest a young(ish) audience, musically and topically (and I love all the Ades, Saariaho, Benjamin new ‚classics‘ but… truly please!)

“What does he do?” ‘He’s a conductor’ “No but, like, for a job?” ‘That is his…’ “No but how does he earn a LIVING?!” ‘He’s literally been knighted for…’ “I can’t put that, I’m putting farmer, it’s done now”

I’m so happy @BYOpera is able to honour Serena in this way. Serena Fenwick supported more singers than anyone will probably ever know and made a career a possibility for so many of us. Thank you Serena. ❤️
Congratulations all! Proud to be one of so many singers who were supported by Serena. Wonderful woman

In 2023, remember to take time making music you actually want to make. If it’s too hip for your teacher, do it anyway. If it’s too weird, you’ll be pleased to know that there are a LOT of weirdos out here 1/3

Missed @pinchgut Opera's latest production of Médée by Charpentier? Never fear! Listen to the live recording by @ABCClassic from their performance at the Hall to liven up your afternoon. Available here: cityrecital.ink/medee-record…
"Art is an inherently hopeful act... Every time an architect imagines a new building, an artist envisions the first stroke of a brush on a white canvas... That act is done in hope; the creator reaches out in hope to call the world into that creation." from Refractions @NavPress

🎶 Médée, Pinchgut Opera First performed in 1693, this baroque opera explores justice, loyalty, migration + family annihilation – with pertinent relevance to a 21st century suffering the consequences of the pandemic, writes Daniela Kaleva (@Deakin). bit.ly/3H7fEpp

As we get ready for the final performance of The Yeomen of the Guard tonight, we're looking back on this special performance of Gilbert & Sullivan's 'I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General' from @jsavournin that we surprised audiences with during the run. #LoveENO

Another @pinchgut beauty realised tonight with the emotively fluid music of Charpentier’s Médée combined with an unbroken succession of superb singing @CityRecitalHall in a deeply piercing story characterised by both a horrifying and pitiful outcome.
