This was MAD last night right in the middle of a frankly insanely impressive performance by a young treble
Unfortunately, the opening night of Alcina featured an audience member who disrupted the show and the excellent performance by young singer Malakai M Bayoh. [1/2]

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

I saw this live in the flesh and it was honestly one of the most impressive and beautiful and effortless things I have ever laid my eyes on 😍🫠

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.

Especially this gorgeous early music which lives in such a juicy sound-world it makes it so flexible and visceral and SPIRITUAL. Okay rant over x
