An absolutely captivating performance of Die Walküre at Longborough Longborough Festival Opera today. Such superb singing (congratulations to Valentine Voice Care for your input). My 19-year-old daughter (who has Down Syndrome) was entranced, as was I.

I actually do love this guy.

According to UNICEF, 3000 Palestinian children in Gaza are at risk of death due to severe malnutrition . Included is the photo of the Palestinian child Amjad Qanou in North Gaza who is 3 years old and his weight is 5 kg only.

Today is the day, curtain up on our Longbourgh Ring Cycle 🍾 Kicking off with Das Rhinegold, there are a few returns if you want to blag yourself a last minute ticket for this afternoon 🎟️ Toi toi toi to our incredible cast, orchestra & team. To our audience, enjoy! 😊

01/07/2018 // 16/6/2024 The day we all first met and visited Longborough // The day we opened the first show of the Ring Cycle. It’s been a long, beautiful, extraordinary journey - with the most incredible humans. I am so grateful.

Fascinating map showing the spread of the word “father” across Europe over centuries. It’s not detailed enough to show two small islands in Britain occupied by Victoria Derbyshire and Chris Mason where “Dad” is used instead. BBC News (UK)

She rocked it.

🎟️ We've had a few tickets returned for the full cycle, and we have limited availability for the additional performances of our new production of Die Walküre on 12th and 14th July. Snap them up to see what all the fuss is about: lfo.org.uk/support-us/sup…

Our 2024 Ring Cycle has been many years in the making, and seeing it all come together at last feels so special 😍 💡 Here's @PaulCareyJones (Wotan/The Wanderer) with an insight into what it's like to do these four operas as a full cycle.

Spotted passing through Longborough village on their way to the pub, hands waving from the open sunroof like royalty, John Tomlinson driving @PaulCareyJones, Me and Mini Me, Wotan and Young Wotan, in JT’s bright yellow classic Merc. What a beautiful sight.

Siegfried, Wotan, Brünnhilde and Hunding/Hagen outing to see Donner and and Cover Fasolt do a masterclass with John Tom. This is what a company looks like.

Astonished by the miracle that is the Longborough Festival Opera Ring Cycle, after a staggering Gotterdammerung tonight. Lee Bisset’s Brunnhilde, the Wotan of @PaulCareyJones and the Hagen of Julian Close as good as I’ve seen anywhere.

Want to be on stage at Longborough next Summer? Applications are now open for our 2025 Chorus and Emerging Artist roles! 🌟 Next year's Emerging Artist production is Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell, led by Bjarte Eike and directed by Erlend Samnøen.  lfo.org.uk/participate/em…

Lovely advice on dressing for a Ring cycle from an Longborough Festival Opera audience member tonight, given to her by her Bayreuth regular mother: Rheingold, as casual as you like, Walküre all guns blazing to honour the arrival of Brünnhilde, then a gradual tapering off towards Götterdämmerung.

My friend runs a flute shop. Pointed this out to him. They are now posting a book of flute duets to Downing Street, for Starmer and Reeves to play in their downtime. Larry the Cat might not approve…

If you missed it, there are a small number of tickets left for our addition performances of Die Walküre on 12th July (conducted by Harry Sever, our Ring Cycle Conducting Fellow) and 14th July (conducted by Anthony Negus) 🎟️ Next up.. La bohème 🤩 📸 @MatthewWEllis

Going to be a special show today. Everyone adores Harry Sever as a musician and as a person.

I know all eyes are on the tennis/football/Trump, but in a small village in the Cotswolds a glorious team of special artists and people are putting to bed a project that has turned them into a family, slowly, over 5 years, then quickly, over 4 months. #lforing Longborough Festival Opera
