Shout out to Mr Sam Lom who is doing an inspired final recital at Guildhall School of Music & Drama today with all new commissioned pieces. He'll be playing our violin-maker for @teteateteopera #cruelsister #opera #modernopera

Meanwhile, before our own rehearsals get underway, our resident composer Laurence Panter is wearing his #singer #mask for Longborough Festival Opera Anna Bolena - which is looking and sounding marvellous! #opera #donizetti instagram.com/p/ByiGlJLh5lL/…

Business meeting going well. What were we meant to be doing again? Ah, yes, schedule version 17.4... #newopera #opera #theatre @teteateteopera @ Leman Street Tavern instagram.com/p/ByqDVT4BNTV/…

Coming to Cruel Sister? Why not make a night of it? Just before us at 8pm is One Art, exploring the legacy of the poet Elizabeth Bishop in what looks like a fascinating one-woman show 🔻🔻🔻

Sisterly love, or...? Come and see us on 27th July to see what happens next #smug #jealousy #envy #competitive #dangerous @teteateteopera Lucy Elston Laurence Panter instagram.com/p/B0CBr77hYN4/…

Motley opera practises the drowning scene a bit too immersively today #soaked #opera #caughtintherain @teteateteopera Lucy Elston Esther Mallett Andrew Woodmansey

What a fest. It'll be cool enough by 9pm Saturday to pop in to the RADA studios I think...

Whole opera in the back of the car. Safely made it to RADA ready for TONIIIIGHT! 9pm. I know you're free... @teteateteopera Laurence Panter Lucy Elston Christopher Rosie Lomas Abi Heath #liveopera #loveopera #newopera
