It's the most wonderful time of the year ❄️☃️

Although I haven't been for a run in 4 days...any recommendations for indoor workout video alternatives until the ground is less slippy? I have a very small living room so something that doesn't take much space!

Exciting photoshoot this morning for the Liberata Collective production of "Orlando" next year - think Steps early 2000s album cover but make it Baroque... Looking forward to taking this show to Buxton International Festival & more next summer

If you're on Instagram, please could you take 30 seconds to report this fake account that is impersonating me!

I've been reporting it for 10 days now and Instagram's help system is absolutely useless and keeps rejecting the reports...Here's the fake:

Winter wonderland vibes at the Royal Opera House yesterday as I performed a lunchtime recital with Fran Hills (we did our best to match the Christmas trees 🎄) Thanks to everyone who came - we had a jam packed and smiling audience to sing to, and it was a joy to share a programme of some of my favourite storytelling songs & arias, everything from French opera to Swedish melodies.

A couple of concerts coming up this weekend:

🎵 Friday 9 December, 1pm
Royal Opera House: Live at Lunch
with Fran Hills (piano)

🎄 Saturday 10 December, 7:30pm
HAYDN Missa Sancti Nicolai
Sine Nomine Singers

If you need some respite from work or Christmas shopping / wandering around John Lewis panicking, then I'll be giving a lunchtime recital at the Royal Opera House next Friday 9th Dec with Fran Hills (piano).

On the menu are arias & songs by Handel, Gounod, Donizetti, Britten, Clarke, Stenhammar, Wolf and *maybe* one Christmassy number...

And best of all it's free! Hope to see some of you there.

🎵 ROH Live at Lunch
🕐 1pm (lasts 45 mins)

Christmas trees? ✔️ Bach? ✔️ Orchestra? ✔️ Ready for Christmas Oratorio at @OxfordTownHall with @OxfordHarmonic yesterday

What a way to jumpstart your Christmas🎄⭐

Oh no...

The Messiah has finally been un-covered...is sticky-back plastic still a thing?!

Just overhead a conversation from a very posh, middle aged couple which started with the man asking "So where do you stand on men in polo necks?"

...And the second festival to announce their 2023 season...

In July I'll be singing Medoro in Handel's "Orlando" at Buxton International Festival with the newly formed Liberata Collective under the direction of Adrian Butterfield & Ensemble Hesperi. I'll be playing Medoro alongside fab cast: Christian Joel, Olivia Doutney, Susanna MacRae & Jolyon Loy. We've perfs on 10, 14 & 21 July🎵
