And the winner is… @glyndebourne for La Voix humaine/Les Mamelles de Tirésias! Congratulations 🏆 #OperaAwards2022

AND Handel wrote the treble in after most of the opera was already written JUST to cast the treble (originally William Savage) so he must have really wanted that sound really badly so Brava @TheRoyalOpera stunning all round a beautiful production

I thought the casting added such an interesting diversity in the overall sound world of the piece AND the role was ORIGINALLY written for a boy treble so it’s actually how my main man Händel would have wanted it to sound!!!

This was MAD last night right in the middle of a frankly insanely impressive performance by a young treble

@NardusWilliams @DunedinConsort @wigmore_hall Oh my god all absolute bangers

Looking forward to singing this gorgeous #Handel programme with the incredible, @DunedinConsort. Booking is now open @wigmore_hall, and it would be fantastic to see all your lovely faces! 🥳 wigmore-hall.org.uk//whats-on/dune…

I saw this live in the flesh and it was honestly one of the most impressive and beautiful and effortless things I have ever laid my eyes on 😍🫠

Especially this gorgeous early music which lives in such a juicy sound-world it makes it so flexible and visceral and SPIRITUAL. Okay rant over x

This is the sort of innovation and vision that opera needs and I am so excited to see what this inspires
