It’s Bloomsday and approaching the Penelope hour. I’ve just caught up with @IrishNatOpera Old Ghosts. The production team have done an awesome job putting this together bringing this chamber opera to the screen. youtu.be/3EPm1v-zKUU

Opening night of The Ballybruff trilogy @BelltableLimk for Opera Work. Such a fun show and my first priest impersonation.

Tonight! Can't wait

Tonight... Good tunes and fab singing from @Sestinasingers next generation cohort

@mXwalker18 @BrittenOfficial That's a very kind way of putting it Martin. I think it's me that's overexcited

@heightenor @BrittenOfficial You may have the original! Here’s mine - I was a bit excited for a bit…

@mXwalker18 @BrittenOfficial Interesting - looks like writing ink to me.

@heightenor @BrittenOfficial I have that in my score of Peter Grimes - isn’t it a facsimile?

@davidfarrier Thanks @davidfarrier for bottling a bit of feijoa goodness. Have you tried eating the flowers? They are like feijoa flavoured mini marshmallows that melt in your mouth. ..also feijoa pie - definitely a thing

I like stained glass but this window is sublime. Johannespassion with @RomseyChoral today in the beautiful Romsey Abbey Sounding great.

@edsingstenor @barnetchoral Love a bit of Kühnau

Bach Magnificat, Graupner and Kühnau in Barnet with @barnetchoral! Huge scenes incoming…

Last Salome with these heretics tonight ⁦@IrishNatOpera⁩

Really stunning performance of Strauss SALOME by @IrishNatOpera…filled with drama, tension & suspense. Phenomenal cast led by tour de force @SineadCWsoprano. Orchestra absolutely sublime! Must see! 👏🏻 @DrummImelda @heightenor @eoghandesmond @Leanne_Mezzo @KevNev90 @BGETheatre

Nice walk to dress rehearsal for @IrishNatOpera Salome at @BGETheatre. Looking and sounding extraordinary. Opens on Tuesday

@OlwenGrindley A 16th century bass wind instrument called a serpent en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_(…

@heightenor What IS that…??? 😳

Seen

@lorelixenberg The last 10 minutes Old Ghosts by @RigakiE use Joyce's letters to his Aunt Josephine. Does that count? I think she is successful... youtu.be/3EPm1v-zKUU?si…

The only composer I think who successfully used Joyce in his work is Cage with Finnegan's Wake. Does anyone have any recommendations of composers who used Joyce either conceptually or as text?

In beautiful @StAlbansCath for a Messiah with ⁦@StAchoralsoc⁩ Lovely team of @elirolfejohnson @Afonwy myself & Alex Ashworth @GeorgeVass19

A super enjoyable evening in Canterbury joining ⁦@CanterburyChora⁩ and ⁦@ECOrchestra⁩ with @KeriFuge and @AlistairMiles in Die Shöpfung . Thank you ⁦@CanterburyFest⁩
