Don Pasquale with Opera North at Nevill Holt this summer! Amazing company and a gem of a theatre.

What a night. #OHPLucia @operahollandpk Incredible work from everyone involved. Making memories.

Immediately after the curtain call for the premiere of #OHPLucia @operahollandpk Me with the truly stunning @Jenni_France her role debut of Lucia. What a night. Ecstatic audience reaction. Rightly so.

@JamesOHP @BambosMP @operahollandpk Another North London Greek Cypriot!

Great to have my local MP @BambosMP in for ITCH @operahollandpk last night. Bambos is a great supporter of the arts and is the Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on opera.

Incredibly honoured to be conducting the premiere of Follies at Vienna’s Volksoper this evening. A beautiful production, unbelievable cast, and an orchestra at the very top of their game.

Great to have Director @CeciliaStinton & designer Neil Irish with us for a design meeting with the latest model of #OHPLucia last week. Great cast: @Jenni_France, José de Eça @baritoneaus @JBuckmaster, @blaise_malaba @CharlotteBadham & David Webb - conducted by @michaelpapopera

Volksoper debut ✅ Had such a great time reviving this wonderful production with a fantastic cast and orchestra 🇦🇹

A special evening conducting Brahms’ second piano concerto with my dad ❤️

@crypticcracking Thanks. Was just confused by this!

@michaelpapopera Yes, all cage totals are shown and in the top left corner of the cage :)

@crypticcracking could I please check the wording of the rule set in “All Sums Given” in your recent Fog of War pack? The rules imply that not all killer sums are necessarily shown, which makes the break in tricky. Admittedly, the puzzle’s name should have helped 🙃

For those on the other place michaelpapopera.bsky.social

@amwilson_opera Nico Castel provides this footnote in his translation!

Can anyone think of a good reason why the performance by the travelling troupe in Pagliacci happens so late at night ("a ventitre ore")?

Glorious Rigoletto at the Coliseum. I’m slowly getting the hang of opera & there are no productions more accessible than the @E_N_O’s. Under 21s can go free. #ENORigoletto

Dream cast for this incredible piece of theatre, and a huge pleasure to once again assist the great Mark W @WrStaatsoper

Soprano @alexlowesoprano sings #Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire at @wigmore_hall tonight, marking Schoenberg’s 150th anniversary. #HPVOICE #SchoenbergAnniversary #operasinger More info: ow.ly/FzB650TqLML

The cat’s out of the bag… so delighted to be returning to @operahollandpk next season to conduct Lucia with a knockout cast.

Another opportunity to catch @alexlowesoprano doing Pierrot 🤩

It’s Debussy’s birthday but let’s not forget Eugenius Birch (architect of Blackpool’s North Pier), who bears a striking resemblance.

Just before the final performance of #OHP2024 @operahollandpk for #OHPYeomen On stage with our partners for the last 20 years @CityLdnSinfonia & in front of a wonderful audience. What a season this has been. One of the best ever. Thanks to every single person involved. What times

@neill_bob @operahollandpk Thanks so much!

Another superb evening @operahollandpk - this time a delightfully clever, very funny & beautifully sung and played Acis & Galatea. The ability of this company to switch from full blown melodrama to gentle baroque speaks volumes for their versatility & sheer class! #OPH
