@devilfiddler Thanks for this. I knew Dr Gipps when I was younger. I always liked her music and am so pleased that is now coming to light.

@LPOrchestra Kidelio. Actually, almost any letter to replace the F. Sidelio, Tidelio etc etc.

Ruin an opera with one letter. We’ll go first... Barmen. #WorldOperaDay

If PIF bought 80% of CPFC I would tear up my season ticket and never go near them ever again.

Indeed! It will be 3 seconds, and you won't be allowed to whine about it!

So proud of my friend @Malala and her work with the @MalalaFund to create a world where all girls can learn and be leaders. Creating a more inclusive education system, where students can stand up to the injustices around them, will allow us all to rise.

@philharmonia Superb concert tonight. Loved every moment!

youtu.be/fNmPxC0NUm8 This production uses my orchestral arrangement and was very well received by the critics. I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing it again.

@StarlightMcKenz My wife was making a replacement for the cuppa which she had made for herself but which I had started. She says she will NEVER forgive me.

How many ‘women-in-the-kitchen’ missed that early goal? Misogyny alive and kicking here and internalised!!!! 🙄

@existentialcoms Love it. Given the context I'm a bit nervous about asking, but why is it Napolean on the website and Napoleon here? (Anxiously awaiting the axe!)

@SarahMarieKram1 Absolutely loved your Sieglinde! #lfowalkure

@brinsherratt Hunding, then Rocco, both with chamber orchestra! What could those two orchestrations possibly have in common? #ONFidelio #lfowalkure

So pleased that Opera North are now able to perform Fidelio using my arrangement for smaller orchestra. #ONFidelio @Opera_North I really enjoyed the live stream a few months ago.

@stephenfry @lfotweet Delighted you enjoyed it Mr Fry!

@lfotweet I'm delighted this got the great reviews it did and proud to have played my part in it!

What a way to start the season. We've come to the end of seven amazing performances of #LFOWalküre. A huge thank you and well done to everyone on stage, in the pit and behind the scenes 🎉 Next for us here at Longborough - Così fan tutte, our first show in the Big Top! 🎪

theartsdesk.com/opera/die-walk… Thanks to Stephen Walsh and the Arts Desk for the best review I've ever had. My wife says I could have written most of Page 2 myself! #lfoWalkure #lfo

Another great and well thought out rewiew.

@lfotweet @guardianmusic Fantastic review, and well deserved! #lfowalkure

★★★★ from @guardianmusic for the first post-lockdown Wagner of our #LFOWalkure. "Intimacy and intensity in equal measure...as fine Wagner as could be wished". On we go tomorrow! theguardian.com/music/2021/jun…

We have just attended the dress rehearsal of Die Walkure at Longborough, using my arrangement. It was excellent, Both singers and orchestra. What a sound!
