Great performance of Madam Butterfly by @TheCBSO & @yamakazu_takt tonight @BMusic_Ltd Symphony Hall. It was the last performance I helped plan so it was especially pleasing to see 4 current (until this year) @BirmCons @MyBCU students playing small roles, with great skill. Bravi!

Immensely proud of the work on Butterfly ⁦@BMusic_Ltd⁩ this week, not only as rep but over the last few months as casting consultant on 9 of the 13 roles including forging a relationship with ⁦@RBCVocal⁩. 1/3

If you've not got tickets to Hansel & Gretel yet... ...THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!??! Check out these amazing shots from @gregmilnerphoto📷Opening tonight in our beautiful Bradshaw Hall.

Congratulations to all our brilliant students @BirmCons for the 1st night of Hansel and Gretel this evening. Really touching (and fun!) production by @sophie_gilpin, beautifully conducted by Anthony Kraus. Three more shows this weekend: Birmingham people, see you there! @MyBCU

Rehearsals are well under way for our summer opera, Hansel & Gretel. Come and be transported to a magical forest in this family opera, full of sublime and unforgettable music including the enduring Evening Prayer.

An unexpected day - I found myself in front of the Philharmonia with seven minutes notice conducting the Sitz for ’Le nozze di Figaro’ at Garsington. Totally joyous day conducting my No. 1 piece with a world class orchestra and cast. My thirties are ending well!

Cinderella. The PERFECT opera-making project @BirmCons. 100s of students from @BCUPressOffice and @LCFLondon introduced and now in LOVE with opera. With so much thanks to @TheLinburyTrust who’s support is beyond essential in these beleaguered times for Brum!

@stephenm68 @BirmCons @MyBCU @pjwingfield Thank you, Stephen! Fantastic to perform to a sold out audience! So many new people introduced to opera both on and off stage and all thanks to @TheLinburyTrust !

What a great first night! Magical story, superbly sung, played & staged. Massenet’s score was charming, witty and touching, and his ending is quite the best of any telling of Cinderella. I’ll be back tomorrow night for the other cast - can’t wait! @BirmCons @MyBCU @pjwingfield

Congratulations to all the ‘24 Alvarez YA’s! Especially past/present students #JustinJacobs @SamHarris_EB @rhysmeilyr #PatrickDow @RBCVocal @RoyalAcadMusic @RWCMD @BYOpera Delighted for you all! 👏🏻
