The Most Deserved Deaths in Opera, Ranked van-magazine.com/mag/best-death…

I hear early Messiaen!!

Ok twitter: tell me a 21st century opera (NOT chamber) with full chorus that would truly (and why) interest a young(ish) audience, musically and topically (and I love all the Ades, Saariaho, Benjamin new ‚classics‘ but… truly please!)

Stream it! With s t a r g a z e Elbphilharmonie tonight elbphilharmonie.de/en/mediatheque…

Had my mind blown today by alva noto (official) + s t a r g a z e livestream from Elbphilharmonie . Just totally excellent

Well done what a brilliant appointment

so true.. next coronation may not have this level of musicians they are decorating themselves with - if culture-cull continues at this rate

Great to back for one of these!

Next year will be the last year of my term as Artistic Director of Helsinki Festival, Helsingin juhlaviikot. While it is not the time for goodbyes yet :) it is a good moment to recruit the next Artistic Director(s) for 2025-29. Apply or tell a friend! eventshelsinki.fi/en/2023/06/08/…

Who would have thought… two weeks ago Japan completely outwitted and outplayed Spain.. now the latter have reached the final. I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed this dramatic, classy and unpredictable FIFA Women's World Cup Backing the Matildas to win it now (sorry Lionesses!)

Looking forward to get involved in this scheme

So brilliant to see the incredible Isata Kanneh-Mason tonight in Frankfurt with @dasZukunftsorch and André de Ridder - part of Freispiel 2024. So talented and so full of grace.
