I know rejection is a part of being an opera singer, but just for once, could we not? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Not only am I getting to perform, but I’m getting to perform the annual opera gala on the main stage of the Wales Millenium Centre @WNOtweet. So excited to be presenting the characters of Leporello from Don Giovanni and Die Sprecher from Die Zauberflöte in the gala!

Just the latest in a long line of the British government proving they don’t give a shit about the arts. I’m thinking of all my fellow artists and pray that one day we’ll see inclusivity and support for the arts independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Have to say that @MercedesAMGF1 really screwed over @GeorgeRussell63 tonight. He absolutely deserved the win and proved himself as a future champion. So disappointing.

Bravi tutti @louisealdersop @GeraldFinley @tobyspence #AntonioPappano performing @RoyalOperaHouse. So emotional seeing the empty house but your performances gave me hope that we will come back from this. There can be a future for classical music and opera 💚💚

Me everytime I try recording at home during lockdown 😂
Recording at home for @roger_vignoles. Walk in the park really 💁🏻‍♀️

Any musicians have tips for learning modern opera quickly? I’ve been given two days to learn and record a new operetta and tbh I’m dying a bit 😳
Tonight would have been opening night, absolutely gutted 😭 but looking forward to all the other things to come in opera school @RWCMD
So sad not to open #CosiFanTutte tonight: "The biggest positive was to see the huge journeys for the students, the massive team of people needed to bring an opera to life." Diolch to #RWCMDOpera director @martconstantine, @DelEvans_ & all our creatives. blog.rwcmd.ac.uk/2020/03/25/…

The knock on effect of the virus has officially made its away to Cardiff. Così Fan Tutte at the RWCMD is cancelled after weeks of unbelievably hard work. To say I’m gutted is an understatement, just hope I get to do the role again at some point 😞

Anyone else noticed that the last 10 minutes of a cycle in a washing machine takes around 30 minutes? .......why?!?!
