Love this backstage photo of our brilliant conductor Jessica Cottis with me, Berrak Dyer & the principals of Itch Opera Holland Park following her final performance of this run on Wednesday. What a stunning group of artists. I have loved every minute of working with all of them

In this place: A lot of laughs. New friendships made. Longstanding friendships renewed. New memories made & an amazing amount of hard work. Then walk through this door & on to the Opera Holland Park stage. The magic created seems even more incredible when the theatre is dismantled.

A lovely early Christmas present. Itch listed in Best of 2023 Opera in The Telegraph by Nicholas Kenyon. So proud of EVERY single person who made this happen. To commission a new piece at this time & for it to be received as it was feels just fabulous . Simon mayo Jonathan Dove

In the round up of the classical year @claudiapritch CultureWhisper, lovely to see Itch listed as Favourite New Work (alongside Blue at ENO with my friends Matthew Kofi Waldren & Nadine Benjamin MBE). Thanks to @simonmayo Jonathan Dove & all of the fab OHP team culturewhisper.com/r/best_of/best…

Delighted that ITCH by Jonathan Dove has been nominated for an IVOR for Best Stage Work Composition. Overjoyed for Jonathan & EVERYONE who helped bring it to life Opera Holland Park. Personally absolutely thrilled to have commissioned this wonderful piece. ivorsacademy.com/awards/the-ivo…
