FOUR SISTERS - composed by Elena Langer & libretto by John Lloyd Davies.
The third piece of our triple bill Tales of Love and Loss @royalballetandopera , running until 9 May.
My Royal Opera House debut — truly a pinch-me moment. It’s hard to put into words how much this means, but I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible performers and the phenomenal team behind the scenes who brought this huge project to life. It really does take a village, and I’m feeling so grateful. So much love to you all ❤️

Last Days in the Linbury ~
I had the most epic time assisting on this revival of Oliver Leith & Matt Copson’s strange, thrilling, moving, poetic, devastating and incredibly human opera. As my first production to work on as a JPA director, I am so grateful to have been a part of this family. I also made my RBO stage debut walking on as Superfan which was terrifyingly exciting, and could not have done it without the support from our amazing cast and stage managers 💚
An ode to 2025: A World Turned Upside Down
Staging Juliana Hall’s song cycle at @waterperry_opera_festival last summer was a deeply meaningful show and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to create it with than the incredibly talented @anacarmenbalestra_soprano and @_________suuu . A massive thank you to the dedicated folks at Waterperry Opera Festival who made this all possible.

An ode to 2025: Figaro at the Proms edition
What an insane privilege and thrilling experience to have had the chance to adapt @glyndebourne ‘s Nozze di Figaro at the BBC proms last summer. It was pure joy and pure chaos. Couldn’t have done it without movement director extraordinaire and favorite sidekick @annamarie_actress x
An ode to 2025: Figaro at glyndebourne edition
Hard to put into words how beautiful this summer was. Mariame Clément’s new production of Nozze di Figaro will always have a very special place in my heart, as will the people that I was lucky to work alongside.
