And the winner is… @glyndebourne for La Voix humaine/Les Mamelles de Tirésias!
Congratulations 🏆 #OperaAwards2022
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!!!
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
Back in glorious Essex for show number 3 of Agrippina tonight at @SaffronHallSW Give me a shout if you’re coming! @ETOpera

John Lewis's Ad Agency furiously rewriting the Christmas ad to be about 2 people that meet in #TheQueue and end up having Christmas together. To a slow piano version of 500 Miles by The Proclaimers.
