Elderly neighbour’s autocorrects give me such joy: he’s just informed me that ‘Tannic Never-Sequin is doing Don Carload next year’.

Making my Glyndebourne debut (of sorts!) today.

Finally completed the Rossini Mezzo Three Peaks Challenge tonight. Happy.

Honestly feel like they missed a trick in not casting Elīna as Samantha in the SatC reboot.

Thanks to Autocorrect, I just texted someone that we have a 6pm call to ‘find the curtain-calm’ rather than ‘fix the curtain-call’. They assumed I’d had some sort of spiritual epiphany regarding performance-anxiety.

Rather amused to learn that my Italian neighbour refers to me as ‘La Vicina Fantasma’ owing to me not living in my house for the first five months of his tenancy. Definitely sounds like an Opera Rara project.

Well I have definitely had shabbier dressing-rooms.

Rosina clearly quite happy about being trapped in this particular bedroom, and who can blame her? #GreatChalfield did us proud this weekend!

Really not pulling my weight in this gig (easiest bottle of wine I’ve ever earned), but so lovely to sing my 32 notes with this particular Happy Pair tonight!

Extremely enjoying my ‘I hauled my ass here to sing four bars of music?!’ energy in this screencap from Sunday’s livestream.

I never, ever tire of rehearsing this banger. Just been reunited with it and my first-ever Ferrando Robin Whitehouse after far too long an absence on both counts.

For booster-related reasons my ticket for Jaroussky & Garcia at Wig tonight is now going spare…any takers hit up @MagickLoge !

Not me still stuck in Vienna due to Accidental Circumstances aka failing the pre-Grimes PCR because I had COVID at Christmas. Send Ned Keene over with any spare laudanum.

The Sorceress ready to wreak some ultraviolence in Carthage (well, Sutton Coldfield) tonight.

Final Trittico at King's Head Theatre this eve. Been a blast, but I will not miss having fifteen minutes for these transformations!

Merry Christmas to you all from me and the agèd parents!

Orlofsky is about to get ON it! I hope the burghers of Sutton Coldfield are prepared for Act Two 🥂🍾🥂

Just been absolved of my sins by one of my oldest friends while another got into a spot of bother on a boat-trip and another had a Bernstein Ely Cathedral moment at the end. Post-Apostles photos of Jesus, Mary & the wee donkey (me).
