Savouring that rush of joy in homecoming and reunion. An extraordinary season of travel and adventure took me to Switzerland, Spain, the Netherlands, the U.K., Germany, Canada and Austria, with wonderful new friendships formed and collaborations enjoyed in each place. It’s just been so busy I’ve not shared much beyond my stories, so over the coming weeks I’ll share a little bit more from each, a round up the best moments of the season for me ❤️I can’t tell you how special and how meaningful it was to finish the season by making my debut in Vienna as an Austrian citizen – I saw the home my grandfather grew up in (more on this soon) and performed in the city where he fell in love with opera. Thank you @theateranderwien and @austriainuk – this is was a life changing moment for me.📷 @gerarddemattio

Ach! Ich fühl’s#tbt one of the boldest starts to any aria I’ve ever done – around 18 seconds in there’s an audible difference when I turn around, from singing in a tunnel to an opera house – facing upstage, no monitor, no audible foldback, singing into the distant point of extreme perspective that formed the set……I’m reminded of this because my godmother came to see Der Freischütz last weekend in Basel. She asked me what has been my favourite ever thing to sing… and it’s still this. I have loved every role and character I’ve been able to explore (musically and dramatically) but something about Pamina is just synonymous for me with the pleasure of singing and making music.(It absolutely blows my mind that with all of its innovation and daring, Der Freischütz had its premiere just 30 years after Die Zauberflöte 🤯)Like Der Freischütz, this was a role debut AND revival production. Unlike Der Freischütz we had 3 days rehearsal. I was so incredibly fortunate to work with @hermeshelfricht – his generosity and vulnerability (particularly in this aria) were amazingly wise (beyond his years!) so calming, so inspiring. I think my godmother may have been at this performance too. Here’s to all the extraordinary people in our lives who travel great distances to support us. Thank you.
