Cardiff Cotswold Opera

I shall be essaying my first Don Basilio in what will be my next significant solo thing (unless certain people are unable to sing). Rehearsals begin one month today and tickets are already on sale. Join us for a bit of summer Rossini sparkle! @CardiffOpera

Good singing translations of ‘Bluebeard’s Castle’ and where to hire them, please?

I bloody love this opera and I genuinely cannot wait to start rehearsing it on Saturday with the wonderful people of @CardiffOpera. The constant, stupid look of giddy joy on my face will probably be worth the ticket price alone.

Rehearsed this scene today for @CardiffOpera's production for the first time alongside Aaron Holmes as the Don and Rod Hunt as Il Commendatore. I had chills. youtu.be/hY_bQpmEBc0 #singer #bass #Mozart #lowvoiceepicscenes

Very excited to be in London today for the first day of #LaCalisto rehearsals with @lfotweet!

Two great Mozart roles on the go at the moment. Both are in the earliest of learning stages but I'm very excited to work on these wonderful operas! It's also always lovely to have an excuse to add to the @Baerenreiter library... #Leporello #Publio @CardiffOpera

This thing of beauty arrived in the post this morning. @Baerenreiter @CardiffOpera #Mozart #Leporello

SOPRANOS - my choir are performing Brahms' 'Ein deutches Requiem' on Saturday in The VAN-guard, Caerphilly, and the soprano section has suddenly and violently been hit with a bout of illness. Can any of you who know the piece help us out? Altos and basses welcome too!

@CardiffOpera's first production is done! Thank you so much to all the cast, crew and orchestra that made 'Giulio Cesare in Egitto' the success that it was. I'm already excited to begin the next stage in this company's journey with some #Mozart later this year. #conductor
