After a short but unregrettable period as a vegan last year I have some charcuterie porn to share with you all again…

@MarkValencia @Anna_Patalong

Operagoers, you might care to write the name Talia Stern on your 'talent to watch' log. She directed tonight's Lucretia and she knows her onions. To say the least.

We’ve had a couple of returns for tonight’s opening performance. Snap ‘em up quick: lucretia.info/tickets

If you missed it, there are a small number of tickets left for our addition performances of Die Walküre on 12th July (conducted by @harry_sever, our Ring Cycle Conducting Fellow) and 14th July (conducted by Anthony Negus) 🎟️ Next up.. La bohème 🤩 📸 @MatthewWEllis

Meet and greet for #BYOLucretia - the first time I have ever heard a round of applause for a model box. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

First glimpse of 'Nativity', the new CD of my choral music with Angharad Lyddon, @Ennobledinsect, Anneke Hodnett, Martin Owen, @ChoirKCL and @josephgfort on @delphianrecords - out on 29th November! delphianrecords.com/products/edwar…

General booking is now open peeps, go get your tickets: lucretia.info

British Youth Opera ⁦@BYOpera⁩ has announced new training programmes for early-career creatives taking place over the summer. They’ll stage a full-scale production of The Rape of Lucretia in a tunnel shaft in Rotherhithe, Aug 12-15. lucretia.info

Last year we commissioned research into what young directors, designers and conductors needed to help build their careers. Guess what? They told us that they need opportunties to create work and be seen... (1/7)

PROTEST #SaveOurWNO 🎶 Tuesday, 21st May at 1pm Senedd, Cardiff Bay An invitation from the #Orchestra & #Chorus of @WelshNatOpera to join in song next week. Please share &let’s show the @WelshGovernment & @GOVUK the strength of feeling against dismantling #Wales’s opera company.

@DavidButtPhilip @CamillaKerslake @ChrisRobshaw

Thanks to @CamillaKerslake & @ChrisRobshaw for inviting me to perform at this splendid event last night, alongside a pretty fab team of readers & presenters! 🤩🎄🍷

I know everyone is very angry about this, but please PLEASE fill it in. The only thing that will matter is data, not tweets. I live in hope that this data can then be presented to the next government in order to redress the current sh*tshow.

Happy birthday (and toi toi toi) to mein schöner Mann. #HesJustBen

@Anna_Patalong 😘

Final leg of the journey home after an absolutely epic weekend, watching my beloved @Ennobledinsect in the most beautiful debut as #Jochanaan. Very proud wife. ❤️🤩

@Anna_Patalong You know full well it doesn’t fit the production…

I *really* think this should’ve been the publicity image. 😂

Happy Decollation Day musiktheater-im-revier.de/de/performance…
