Roy Lichtenstein at the @AlbertinaMuseum
I’ll be honest, if you asked me when would be ideal to start singing a 4.5 hour Wagner opera, this is not the time of day I would choose…@WrStaatsoper 🦢😴☕️
Wonderful duo recital by Patricia Nolz and Nikola Hillebrand @Konzerthauswien – varied repertoire from Purcell to Brahms, discoveries including Anton Rubinstein songs
The @bbcproms events for 2024 have been revealed. Check out all the listings on Bachtrack: bachtrack.com/search-events/…
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is from “Koshka’s Tales” (1994). Here’s the Firebird! This was actually a student piece from around 38 years ago, and I kept it because I so badly wanted to do this book, following a trip to Russia in 1986. It pretty much got me the job! #60for60
At the @Musikverein with @bachsheirswaltz for Christian Thielemann and the @Vienna_Phil for an evening of Wagner and Brahms… ✨

I was lucky enough to be at @WelshNatOpera’s Death in Venice tonight, it was fabulous, but mostly I was moved by the sensitivity and virtuosity of the orchestra, under threat of a 15% pay cut-7 weeks less work a year. Please do sign this to support them. megaphone.org.uk/petitions/prot…

I'm cool with the idea that critics are good for nothing except for one teenzy weenzy point... Practically everyone with a show to sell comes to us cap in hand asking for a review. I turn down way more spec gig requests than I can accommodate. Editors even more so, of course.
