🇳🇱 Amsterdam Autumn 2024 🍁 Travelling home from a wonderful late summer/early Autumn contract singing Mrs Sedley in Britten’s Peter Grimes and full of the post show blues. Selection of random Amsterdam photos from my time here. Every city brings new experiences and it’s so wonderful to travel the world for my job. Feeling extremely grateful!! From a time back in 2020 where moments felt bleak for lots of reasons, to enjoying coffees and brunch looking out over the beauty of amazing places and cities, with new friends and loved ones. You never know how things can change, but they can and will. Much love to everyone who made this contract so enjoyable, and safe travels to wherever you go next! . . . @lorenzoviotti @barbora_horakova_joly @zaunerlight @ijsavagetenor @john.findon @johanni.van.oostrum @leighmelrose @wliverman15 @helenaraskercontralto @lvlierop @marcelreijans @sophiahuntsoprano @magagula_thembinkosi @

🍸 Late Night Cabaret @ Leeds Lieder Festival What a wonderful time both @libbyburgesspiano and I had this weekend for the marvellous @leedsliederfestival! Having been deep in Wagner land for the last feed weeks it was such a joy to explore some lighter (although still pretty powerful) songs and poetry from different cabaret scenes - Satie to Sondheim, Weill to @errollyn9552 and so much in between! Thank you to such a warm audience and also to those who watched on the live stream produced by the amazing @appleandbiscuit If you haven’t visited Leeds Lieder yet I was so highly recommend! What @josephmittelstadt and his team produce is so very special! 📸 - @tomarber . . . #leedslieder #cabaret #cabaretrecital #classicalcabaret #instaopera #operasingersofinstagram #recital #collaborativepiano #jazzclub #kinoleeds #operanorth #vocalrecital #lieder #britten #brittencabaretsongs #kurtweill #errollynwallen #weimarcabaret #wilkommen #madelinedring
