F A R E W E L L . . . Last week we had the last performances of Turn of the Screw at @staatsoperberlin where I jumped in to sing the run of Prologue/Quint on 48 hours notice. Remarkably this is normal in the chaotic land of opera, but it’s still a lot of brain power 😶‍🌫️ Finn Downie Dear trusted in me which I’m very grateful for BUT he’s too cool for social media 😅 The rest of the cast @christianekarg @rosiealdridgeopera @annasamuil @nicolobalduccimusic and Regina Koncz were incredible AND nice! It was just a lovely thing to do. I’m always banging on at younger singers about the importance of self promotion, so here’s a spoonful of my own medicine 💊 AND a bonus photo of H if you get to the end, who rolled his sleeves up and did some chores while I was distracted with work 🪜 #Brittenabroad #Asliceofquint #takeyourmeds

B E R L I N ³ I wasn’t always sure this would happen… but as of tomorrow evening, I’ll have sung in all three of Berlin’s main opera houses, as an einspringer at Staatsoper Berlin for Britten’s The Turn of the Screw. For a city that has become home, that feels worth marking, even with an indulgent post 🙈 Completing the trio with a Britten role makes it even more special. It’s one I first sang seven years ago with the wonderful @ella_marchment at Bury Court. The photo features the brilliant Daisy Brown as Miss Jessel, and quite possibly the best wig EVER. Thanks to @staatsoperberlin for your trust, and ttt to old and new friends @christianekarg @rosiealdridgeopera @nicolobalduccimusic @annasamuil and everyone else too young or too cool for Instagram. Thanks for indulging a little shameless promo ✨ #oncebrittentwiceshy #Quintessential #gingerwigsofinstagram?

N A S E R A U S 👃 We finished Die Nase last night, the whole gig was a proper riot…in a good way! But rehearsals for Orlando have already begun, the last photo a sneak preview of what I’m going to look like 😅 My @komischeoperberlin odyssey continues! 🎭 #nosefilterneeded #anotherweirdopera #blackadder

1 0 Y E A R S I N B E R L I N 10 📸 to celebrate ✨ 1. Every artist has a cringe Berlin photoshoot on arrival…? 🛫 2. Friends make moving countries a lot less scary. I won’t explain the outfit 🙈 3. Included mostly for the nostalgia of the hairline. But also memories of producing an opera in a brewery with the best people (and beer) 🍻 4. Questionable costumes have been a constant, this Pee-wee Herman outfit an obvious highlight 🤡 5. Evidence that I can be serious on stage 😐 6. Player era @scfalcosubbuteo 2019–2024; 94 appearances, 1 goal ⚽️ 7. Coach era 2023–present; 68 games, 37% win rate… clock is ticking ⏰ 8. The amazing @mgdvasko in her element 🌱 9. Our wild idea of a good time on the edge of the city @schaefereiprojekt 🐑 10. The wildest, best idea of them all 💕 A decade. Nice one 🔟

1 / 4 L Y R E V I E W - Been directing with @berlinoperaacademy Handels Alcina in December @katapultberlin and most recently Die Zauberflöte @st.elisabeth.villaelisabeth (Henry saw his 2nd opera and he’s already giving me pointers) - Went to 🇹🇷 for Christmas/NY; it rained a lot, we all got sick BUT managed to get a few swings in 🏌🏻‍♂️ - About to swap 🧢 for a mini-residenz @komischeoperberlin first in a revival of the award winning production of Die Nase, and a new production of Olga Neuwirths Orlando, based on the Virgina Woolf Novel Hopefully this post keeps me relevant until the summer 😅 #stayrelevant #systemrelevant #toomanyhats

E I N S C H W I N G E R Jumping in @staatsoperhamburg for performances of Salome starting on 5/10. Had to check with my coach that I remembered the part…#iykyk Henry already worked on this role with me in June, gatecrashing a stage rehearsal in the process. Diva. Nice time to be in HH as the leaves start to turn…⚓️🍂 Do not approach people singing out loud in public areas, especially the park. They may turn out to be asking for money or even worse, attention seeking. #operaengagement #usingmychildforengagement #anyattentionwilldo

S E A S O N D O N E ✅ After a fairly mad 24/25, I finished at @deutscheoperberlin with performances of Pique Dame, in which my hairline is beautifully and temporarily restored 😅 Looking forward to a long summer of seeing friends and watching this little dude grow up 💙🤍💛 Don’t expect too many updates for a while 🌴

H E N R Y V S S T R A U S S First stage rehearsal for the little fella. Did barely any work and made some inappropriate noises, but Henry was very well behaved 😇 Salome not the most age appropriate show for an 8 month old, but it’s loud and there’s a glockenspiel 1st 📸 @vor.hang The rest @mgdvasko ❤️ #bringyourbabytowork #howtonotgetfired #salomaybebaby

D U N K L E S E I T E 🌘 Last night was the world premiere of @unsukchinofficial new opera Die Dunkle Seite des Mondes, with me in a cloud playing Lichtwesen; a dream figure of the main character, Wolfgang Pauli. It was also my 50th performance @staatsoperhamburg ! I owe Isla Mundell-Perkins so much for introducing me to this company (looks like she’s too cool for insta, someone please tell her that I’m grateful! 😅) So happy to reach this mini landmark with good pal @thomaslehmanbaritone who smashed this gargantuan role out of the park. Plus a lovely cast and a top production from @deadcentretheatre they are the real deal. Production photos; Bernd Uhlig Squad photo; @vor.hang 😘 Me and Tom photo; @owlartistmanagement 😉 Suit; The most wonderful 40th present from @mgdvasko (it got more compliments than my performance 😅) #moon #clouds #goldenballs
