Fascinating to get to know the operatic talent this country and its glorious conservatories produce. Pity there is serious lack of commitment to nurture them from the local companies so they all are going to leave us and work/pay tax somewhere else rather soon!

Unforgettable week with Samling Institute for Young Artists workshopping opera with more than 500 kids in 9 schools in the North East of England. These were deeply inspiring and truly life-changing days! Follow and support Samling Institute for Young Artists when and how you can please! #musiceducation #ukschools #opera

Some performances feel extra special. This was one such performance. The combination of a programme of your personal favourites, a great venue with a fine Steinway piano, and performing with one of your best friends in front of a wonderful audience is probably the reason why!

"We are not talking here about people who are capable of any sort of empathy, but of cold and callous administrators who look at this from a purely managerial standpoint and who are, at best, utterly clueless as to the human impact of their decisions." #ENO

How can #RoyalBallet sell out consistently in the same timeline where Arts Council England claim the art form lacks demand?! #eno #opera #society #art #culture

You can't put a price tag on the services this (all the UK opera companies) company provides to our society. I wholeheartedly support this letter Welsh National Opera #opera #society #arts #culture #uk #heritage

Come spend Easter with me in Armenia! 🐇 #mahler . #art #culture #music #armenia #maestro #mahler2

#Armenia has the energy of a growing plant. On my recent trip for the #EasterFestival w Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra it felt like the country is going through a difficult labour to be born again! Very much in synch with the spirit of Mahler Symph N2 Resurrection.
