Rest in peace, Angela Lansbury, you angel. And consummate professional! We worked together only once, at the 2011 Olivier Awards Ceremony, where she sang “Liaisons.” Watch the look on Steve Sondheim’s face as he adores her! youtube.com/watch?v=0Fa_kn…

Brutality, pure and simple. Tragic and unacceptable. Putin must be completely defeated. The West must help Ukraine take back all the stolen land including the eastern provinces and Crimea. theguardian.com/world/2022/oct…

Thanks for your kind messages, everyone! Please forgive me if I don’t respond right away. It’s an emotional evening for me, as you can imagine. Most importantly, still to come: Christmas, Singer-Songwriters, Sondheim & Star Wars. Wonderful music! inquirer.com/news/philly-po…

My fervent wish today is for peace among brothers and sisters so that we may once again make music together from the heart.

Just got confirmation: Tonight's #APhillyPOPSChristmas will go ahead! Musicians and administration have made adequate progress in their negotiations.

Heartfelt thanks to @ThePhillyPops, #MandyGonzalez, #JordanDonica, the #PhillyPopsFestivalChorus, Philadelphia Boys & Girls Choirs, the #StThomasGospelChoir, #PeterRichardConte, #ChuckGill and the wonderful staff of the @KimmelCC!

You all brought such enthusiasm, commitment and artistry to ten #PhillyPOPSChristmas concerts under trying circumstances. Audience reaction was off the charts! Thank you for always inspiring me to do my best.

Here's every piece of music I have conducted since public performances resumed in Autumn, 2021 -- opera, classical, pops, musicals -- waiting to be re-shelved. Just one problem (see second photo): no space left! Maybe it's time for a cull...

Our 2018 Opernhaus Zürich Sweeney Todd was supposed to be revived in January, 2021. That couldn’t happen! So, 5 years later, Seann & I are making our way to Switzerland for 7 weeks. Come January, I’ll be starting my official career sabbatical! opernhaus.ch/en/spielplan/c…

Thank you, #NewYorkTimes, for honoring one of our truly great #Broadway artists. I am so lucky to be conducting one of Jonathan's great orchestrations just before starting my official "sabbatical!" #OpernhausZürich #SweeneyTodd #StephenSondheim nytimes.com/2024/01/10/the…

Tonight is Angelika Kirchschlager’s last performance before retirement! She has truly mastered the role of Mrs. Lovett, getting laughs right and left. I send her tons of love… #OpernhausZürich #SweeneyTodd #StephenSondheim

For a couple of years now, I’ve known that I need to take a “sabbatical,” to recharge physically, emotionally, & spiritually. It starts now! It’ll be great to relax at home on Cape Cod. Now is the time to take stock of what has been, enjoy what is, & contemplate what is to come.

Thank you, @vadimgluzman, for this wonderful appreciation of Leonard Bernstein's #Serenade. Performing it with you and BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus was a highlight of my career. "Just think of love..." leonardbernstein.com/news/blog/267/…

Today would have been the 94th birthday of the great Stephen Sondheim. What better day to announce that, a year from now, I'll be coming out of sabbatical to conduct Leonard Bernstein's Candide at Curtis Institute of Music? It'll be a pleasure to return to Philly with such a fun project!
