I had so much fun teaching my last German for opera lovers workshop at City Lit discussing- of course in German- Der Rosenkavalier. Each course, opera enthusiasts come together sharing their passion and talking about an opera in German. I am looking forward to the next similar courses in September and October:

Fond memories of Bruno Ravelli’s most stunning production I worked on a couple of years ago.

“The crucial spoken passages of this Singspiel came over clearly, the cast’s German diction precise” https://theartsdesk.com/opera/fidelio-garsington-opera-review-battle-sunshine-and-shadows

It’s been a huge pleasure preparing a couple of kids for their video audition for the „Knaben“ for the David McVicar production at RBO. Having coached German on this production several times and being familiar with the audition process, it’s been great fun helping to prepare them during the initial selection stage. The kids have been an absolute delight to work with- and congratulations for getting into the second round! Looking forward to more coaching this week!

Well done to the entire dream cast and dream team. What a powerful revival by Jamie Manton and conducted by Dougie Boyd.

It’s been the greatest pleasure working as German language coach with you all- dialogues and music are sounding amazing.
Robert Murray as Florestan, Sally Matthews as Leonore, Musa Ngqungwana as Don Pizarro, Jonathan Lemalu as Rocco, Isabelle Peters as Marzelline, Oliver Johnston as Jaquino, and Richard Burkhard as Don Fernando. Congratulations also to the fantastic chorus led by Jonathon Swinard.
