Very much looking forward to working with the young musicians at the AIMS in Graz tomorrow. Any opportunity to share my experience with my younger colleagues is such a joy for me, and I always enjoy seeing their growth in these masterclasses.

No better way to warm up than with a hot day in Saint-Tropez! We’re all excited for this evening’s concert of opera favorites at Les Nuits du Château de La Moutte. Love a night of opera anywhere, but especially in a gorgeous place like this!
