Ofc I run away to rural Victoria, alone, only to meet several Londoners

anyway hi from here

Sooooo #babyreindeer completely brilliant and shattering. Hope the stage version comes back sometime

Very sad to hear we’ve lost the wonderful Sir Andrew Davis, such a shining light of enthusiasm and positivity in this industry. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to work with him + Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2019 on one of his fave pieces. A beautiful conductor and delightful human.

So so sad not to be in London for this. If you are, go to Wiggy and cheer loudly for my lovely and brilliant dad ♥️

Wrapping up a lovely week in Melb/Naarm, workshopping a new chamber opera by Victoria Pham alongside cellist (and Mr. Pham) Daniel Pini. Big thanks to Arts House + City of Melbourne for bringing me here + making this possible! Now for a week off (!!???) followed by Canberra International Music Festival.

Great article in The New York Times about Vlad Jurowski and the role of politics in art, including some nice words about the new BayerischeStaatsoper Die Passagierin: “the performance, the staging and the architecture of the piece itself was shattering and stark”.
