Conducting the opening night of Falstaff @theaterkiel. My third production in 4 years of this incredible piece! Since I was nominated best conductor of 2019 for my production of this opera at @thegrangefestival by @opernwelt_magazin, it’s only fitting that it’s in Germany!

Another fantastic night at our double bill of #OHPSusanna & #OHPPagliacci Opera Holland Park Absolutely one of the greatest things we have ever done. 3 more shows remaining next week. Don’t miss it.

I watched #Pag from the auditorium for the first time last night; really is a stunning (gut-wrenching) show. David Butt Philip and Alison Langer Soprano a heartbreaking central couple, ingenious production allows all the layers of artifice to unravel, francesco cilluffo glorious in the pit.

Thank you so much Barbara. Great to have you here. Thank you so much for your support.

In this review for the double bill at OHP from Richard Bratby The Spectator this on #OHPPagliacci “This is an electrifying piece of music theatre, as intelligent as it is savage, & easily the best Pagliacci I’ve ever seen. Phenomenal. Catch it while you can.” spectator.co.uk/article/forget…
