The humidity really did my hair dirty 👩‍🦱
BUT here is some Waltraute, which I really like to sing because you usually have long orchestral passages to prepare for the next bit 🤓

Surprisingly(!) they like Wagner in Germany so I’m singing 5 roles and covering 2 this season so plenty of opportunity to come and spend many hours on your bum.

Thank you @florent.mourier.piano for your lovely piano-ing and @london.recording.days @capinskirecordings for doing the video things 💕

Apologies to anyone who sees me in real life and realises they’ve been catfished. 🎣

Heading to Glyndebourne in under 2 weeks to revisit Hermia in Midsummer and can’t wait to see all my lovely pals there!!

This aria is rarely, if ever, performed.
Really loved delving into the online archive of undiscovered gems!!
Enjoy! 😊

I’m heading to the Proms this summer, performing Beethoven 9 for the first time on the 20th July!

With the BBC Phil, the Philharmonia Chorus, a fab line up of soloists and conducted by Gianandrea Noseda - it’s going to be a special one.

Oh, AND it’ll be on the telly!!

See you there :)

A new chapter at Deutsche Oper Berlin!

As the house enters a new phase with fresh leadership, I’m grateful to continue as part of the ensemble for the 26/27 season.

Next season brings a return to some familiar repertoire, alongside a new production of The Flying Dutchman! Very much looking forward to what’s to come.

April schedule update!

Due to stepping in for Cesare, I’ve had to step away from the wonderful productions of Suor Angelica and Walküre (and reduce performances of other productions). Sad to miss them, but very excited for what’s ahead! There’s still plenty coming up before the end of the season, and it’s going to be a lot of fun 🤩

Second Nurejew with the Staatsballett tonight— it’s so good the run is completely sold out!! 🩰

Plot twist!
I’m now doing the full run of Giulio Cesare at Deutsche Oper Berlin!

Week two of rehearsals and honestly… it’s going to be SO good. Amazing cast and a suspicious number of Brits in the room…

Opening April 25th—see you there 👀

(P.S. schedule has changed quite a bit. Link in bio!)

ELEKTRA family drama is truly unhinged — murder, revenge, generational trauma… 🪓Kardashians could never. 💅

Last night at DOB for Strauss’ absolute masterpiece. 💔

#strauss #elektra #operalife #operasingersofinstagram #deutscheoperberlin

We are VERY upset that Violanta is over.
But thanks to the Botox…you’d never know!🤫💉

P.S. No needles, just some good ol’ stage makeup 💋

An aria I’ve heard 10000x and never thought I would sing!!
Orlofsky was SO fun.
Had the time of my life on stage with my incredible colleagues: dancers, actors, chorus and particularly my sidekick, Ivan @samirbln80 ♥️
The quality of this video is terrible at best, but hopefully you can see how silly billy the staging is💁🏻‍♀️
