"Jeg mødte engang op til prøve med et orkester en mandag morgen, hvor en musiker netop var død, og en anden sad i fængsel for det". Eva Ollikainen gav mig et ekstraordinært ærligt og åbent interview til det nye nummer af Klassisk - køb det endelig! klassisk.org/artikel/i-lang…

Lithuanian singers will be pretty much unmissable on opera stages this spring/summer. How did a tiny Baltic country become global opera's talent factory? A little investigation for FT Weekend (and yes, I EVEN wrote the headline) ft.com/content/3a9d04… #opera #Lithuania

Cool that this story has been picked up by national radio in Lithuania, to whom I just spoke live. #LRTKlasika #opera #Lithuania

A whole year ago. ⬇️ I guess I should be relieved that for now the company is still full time & my efforts to get the message across that to go part time would be ruinous were heard by the last Interim General Director who rowed that back. But the situation now…? #SaveWNO🧵1/5

A spring-water Woodbird in the Tcherniakov Ring and now an acrobatic Vixen for Stefan Herheim in Oslo. Increasingly apparent that Victoria Randem is the standout emerging opera talent from Scandinavia. #opera

Bent Sørensen + Jon Fosse should have been an aesthetic marriage made in heaven. But their opera Asle & Alida at Det Kongelige Teater falls short of what it might have been and makes for a dull evening of theatre. Review for Seismograf seismograf.org/artikel/operat… #opera

Season-closing double bill at GöteborgsOperan: a stab at saving Mozart's awkward Der Schauspieldirektor and an enraptured Iolanta that touched the heavens. Reviewed (DE) for Oper! oper-magazin.de/kritiken/auffu… #opera

'The contemporary music world has lost an artist of colossal imagination and influence'. Read Andrew Mellor's obituary for composer Per Nørgård on our website gramophone.co.uk/classical%20mu…

Endnu engang viste Marie Jacquot sit enorm talent, imponerende modenhed, udsøgt teknik og generøsitet som musikalsk leder. Det Kongelige Kapel & Operakor, Mozart C minor osv. 29.5 klassisk.org/anmeldelse/jac… #kglteater #mozart #review #anmeldelse #kuktur

Sadly this will only end one way: the sack within five years (probably sooner), with Brentford quite possibly adrift and facing relegation in the same time period. Frank will then either return to Denmark or end up managing the likes of Burnley and Brighton for 6-month stretches.

Victoria Randem wins HEDDA for her performance as the Vixen for DNO&B. Quite a journey from the company's children's chorus, which she joined 25 years ago. heddaprisen.no/show/den-lure-… #opera
