What a fantastic evening at the @BarbicanCentre with the @londonsymphony and Antonio Pappano. Loved the thundering and steadfast Jochanaan, Michael Volle ❤️👏 👏and the seductive, wicked, beautiful Salome, Asmik Gregorian ❤️👏👏 Marvellous sounds from the orchestra and singers.



Budapest Wagner-days, tickets are now available for 2026🥳 The Ring and Parsifal, with conductor Ádám Fischer. Super performances in a beautiful city, I bought my tickets 😊 online system accepts only numbers for postcode, t-office said write any, while corrected

.@kimleadbeater you are misleading the House before today’s vote. You know the Royal College of Psychiatry - the experts in capacity & coercion - has explicitly opposed your bill. It breaks my heart that you would use a sleight of hand to mislead MPs and the public in this way.

Fantastic Die Walküre at @rbo_org with a great choice of singers and superb orchestra with Antonio Pappano❤️. Loved Stanislas de Barbeyrac and Natalya Romaniw as the young couple, the powerful Christopher Maltman and Elisabet Strid. In the break, found a photo from the past.

Please consider signing this if you consider the way people are being treated is wrong, and/or decimating epidemiology during the overlap of a pandemic and a panzootic is just plain f***ing insane... Link in next tweet to avoid algal rhythms...😜
Sunday afternoon at ROH, Aida. Anna Pirozzi was the 🌟 , whether it was strength or vulnerability, she did it beautifully. A Enkhbat, R Bryce-Davies, A Köpeczi, R Massi, all sang well 👏. I saw this staging for the first time, and for me, it worked🤷🏻♀️.



Saw #Maria, very disappointed. Jolie is the star here, close shots, lavish dresses, rooms and superficial references to Callas’ life… For me, the greatness and the tragedy didn’t come through, 👿 the voice fusions, and why Va, pensiero, was the closing music? Lack of choice?
