Familiar

So @chimkennumget wanted the family to be happy. So here’s some happiness in the middle of the angst.

Catherine Parr gazed up at the blooming pink and blue hues of the sky. Spots of graying clouds were passing by, but it didn't look like it would rain. Her hands stroked the grass underneath her fingers, sometimes pulling some of it out. She woke up before dawn today due to the images that were conjured in her dreams. After that, she didn't feel like sleeping again.

Everything felt so wildly different. There were these loud inventions that every so often honked. These small tiny boxes that people would look into, or talk into. Plenty of things changed yet were so familiar...but she just can't remember.

At least she could feel a sense of familiarity by looking up towards the sky.

boof

A soft, quiet bark brought Cathy out of her skygazing. Her gaze moved towards the house she shared with six other people. They were so painfully familiar, but at the same time...they weren't. The source of the bark was almost an entire black coated hound, with white patterns on the underside of his belly and the jaw.

This was Lupus, according to Anna of Cleves. This is her hound...or dog, as the others have called it.

Lupus paced towards Cathy with a small toy held in his mouth. The woman gulped as he neared, but didn't dare move. The moment he arrived, he sat down and clenched his jaw, which made the toy emit a squeaky sound.

The squeak startled Cathy. It was a brand new sound she was not accustomed to. However it did make her smile and almost giggle at the silliness of it. Sensing his owner's amusement, his tail began to wag.

Cathy smiled at the dog's happiness, and slowly raised her hand towards his fur. Wanting pets from his owner, Lupus moved closer to Cathy, closing the gap between his body and her hand. The sixth queen tentatively ran her fingers over his soft fur, which calmed her mind from the big changes of this new age.

Lupus laid down with his head resting on Cathy's lap, still somehow squeaking on his toy, but content to remain for good pets from his owner. Cathy also laid down on her back, seeing as it was more comfortable than hurting her neck.

Meanwhile inside the house, the residents began to wake up. Jane walked into the kitchen and began to boil water for tea. A few moments later, Aragon walked into the kitchen as well, and greeted the third queen with a peck on the cheek. Jane hummed, and lightly kissed Aragon on the lips in return.

Aragon smiled softly, before grabbing some eggs to cook for breakfast. The scent of the cooking probably carried throughout the house, because Anna and Kat entered the kitchen together.

"Mmm Catalina, what's for breakfast?" Anna asked.

Without turning around Aragon responded, "Eggs."

"Nice. Is there any bread around?"

"There's one in the cupboard somewhere."

Anna thanked Aragon and grabbed the package of bread from the cupboard and placed it on the table. Kat immediately grabbed two slices and spread hazelnut spread on it, before taking a bite. Anna took a plate and a few slices and toasted them on their toaster.

A tall broad-shouldered man then entered the kitchen with a yawn. "Good morning everyone."

A chorus of 'good mornings' were the reply from the queens, except for Kat who mumbled with her mouth full, "Good mornin' Percy."

Anna took a seat next to Kat and nudged her, "Swallow first Kit." Then she grinned.

A few moments passed before Jane, who began setting down a few cups down, turned to Percy, "How did you and Anne sleep?"

Percy shrugged weakly, "It was okay. It was certainly not the best, but it was okay."

A heavy silence filled the room, knowing what made Percy's and Anne's sleep suffer. They knew, because some nights, they slept with worry in their minds as well.

"Ah, I apologise, I brought down the mood haven't I?" Percy apologised.

Aragon immediately spoke up, "No no, you haven't. Admittedly, I worry too."

An agreement between all of them was echoed, and silence once again blanketed the kitchen.

Minutes later, rapid footsteps resonated throughout the house, followed by the sound of opening doors. The frantic footsteps continued down the staircase before Anne slid into view of the kitchen doorway.

"Have any of you seen Cathy?!"

Everyone's eyes widened at the second queen's sudden entrance, and more so at her question.

Percy stood up in a panic, "What do you mean? Isn't she in the guest room? She usually wakes up late."

"I did! And the bed was empty!" Anne's face was full of panic. She and Percy and sometimes Aragon and the Queens alternated between checking on Cathy in the morning. For her to find nothing on the bed, sent adrenaline rushing through her body and began to look everywhere for the small woman.

Kat stood up, and walked towards Anne, "Hey, Annie, we'll find her okay?"

"I fucking hope so Kit, she's going to get lost and...and… she's going to get hurt again. I can't deal with that again. We all can't go through that again." Anne rambled.

Percy placed an arm around Anne and pulled her close. Honestly, he was close to going in a full blown panic himself, but if they wanted to find Cathy they had to try and stay calm. That didn't mean he wasn't worried as hell though.

Anna looked around, noticing something was off, before she came to a realisation. "Wait!" She exclaimed.

Everyone paused and turned to Anna. The fourth queen placed the edges of her thumb and middle finger in the corners of her mouth and whistled.

After a slight pause, a familiar bark came from what seems like the backyard. They all looked at each other, then quickly went towards the back sliding doors. Not before making sure that the kitchen won't burn.

All of them exited the house with their eyes looking all over their backyard, before they spotted a blue-clothed figure laying on the grass with Lupus' tail wagging back and forth.

They collectively sighed in relief at the sight of Cathy simply laying on her back, contently petting Lupus.

The black husky somehow picked up the sighs, and raised his head. Lupus perked up at the sight of the rest of the family and his tail wagging increased in speed. Noticing the dog's increased happiness, Cathy sat up, and looked back towards the house. She saw six people standing by the sliding doors, then she gulped.

Oh no, was she in trouble? Did she do something wrong? Her petting grew more anxious, as Anne and Percy walked towards her, with the rest of the queens behind them.

Cathy gulped as they stopped in front of her. From her perspective, they literally towered over her, which made her more nervous. Sensing Cathy's growing panic, Percy crouched down to sit on the grass, and Anne immediately followed suit.

Due to her panic's pressure, Cathy opened her mouth, "I-I'm sorry! I'm so sor-sorry for whatever I did wrong! I swear I'll try to fix whate-" she was cut off by Anne's sudden fierce hug, followed by Percy.

Cautiously, Cathy returned the hug. This made Percy and Anne tighten their hugs on the small woman. The hug continued for a few minutes before the latter two let go. The sixth queen immediately began to fiddle with her fingers.

"Hey Cathy, why're you out here?" Percy asked. The queens arrived at where they were, and sat down as well.

Cathy hesitantly answered, "I-uh… I woke up early, and I-I could not go back to sleep, so I de-decided to go and see the sunrise since I thought it would be-be relaxing. I apologise if I unnecessarily made yo-you panic."

"Don't worry, what matters is that you're safe." Anne interjected. For a moment, it looked like Anne wanted to lean forward to do something, but held back.

Jane and Aragon nodded in unison, "Yes, at least you're safe."

Silence fell over the family, before Kitty spoke up. "Hey, you know what would be a great idea? Why don't we have our breakfast out here! Like a picnic! It looks like the perfect weather for one too."

All of them (Cathy was a bit more hesitant in putting her opinion) contemplated Kat's suggestion, before collectively agreeing to it. Even Lupus agreed to it by happily barking twice.

"Brilliant! I'll go grab a picnic blanket and some utensils." Jane stood up.

Aragon followed Jane in standing up. "Very well, I'll get the food and plates."

Anna wiped down her joggers before standing up, "I'll help." She patted the side of her thigh, "Uh Cathy? Will you mind if Lupus tags along? He's super useful in carrying some things."

Cathy subtly shook her head, "Not at all."

"Come here boy!" Lupus responded with a bark and followed Anna, but now without giving Cathy a small lick on the cheek. Anne and Percy smiled at the sight.

Kat followed the three queens, "I'll help too!" She exclaimed with the intention to sneak Lupus treats as she helped.

Cathy, Anne, and Percy watched them all enter the house. A sense of relief and gratitude washed over the latter two, while Cathy felt a small sense of familiarity at the domesticity.

Anne leaned her head closer to Percy's, and whispered as to not let Cathy hear, "Do you think it'll be alright? The three of us? And Cathy?"

Percy took his time to respond. The two of them watched Cathy gaze up at the morning sky and bask in the good weather. They saw her sigh in satisfaction.

Percy let out a smile, as did Anne. "I think it will all be alright," he murmured.

Cathy was unaware of the small conversation behind her. She looked up at the sky with a hint of a smile. She may not remember a lot of things, but she feels...content in a way.

The sky may always be familiar, yet the sense of familiarity from the people she lived with was stronger.

The UK parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee is working on its report (and recommendations) from its inquiry into the economics of music streaming. One of the big talking points during the inquiry’s evidence sessions was equitable remuneration (ER): specifically extending it from radio and TV to some streams.

The Broken Record campaign has made ER one of its key requests of the committee; labels have argued firmly against it; and (in our view, at least) the committee seems to be leaning more towards the former camp. But the committee isn’t the British government, so if ER is to be extended, ministers will need to be convinced too.

That campaign is already starting. A letter sent to Prime Minister Boris Johnson – and shown to Music Ally this morning – sees a who’s who of British musicians backing such an extension. Sir Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Chris Martin, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Kate Bush, Roger Daltrey, Damon Albarn, Noel Gallagher, Laura Marling, Sir Tim Rice… and many more.

“Only two words need to change in the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. This will modernise the law so that today’s performers receive a share of revenues, just like they enjoy in radio,” argues the letter. But it also calls for a competition inquiry (or at least a government referral to watchdog the Competition and Markets Authority); for songwriters to get a bigger share of streaming royalties; and the establishment of a dedicated regulator “to ensure the lawful and fair treatment of music makers”.

Later today, we’ll publish our quarterly Music Ally report, including our analysis of the key talking points of the inquiry, and what might happen next. One of our suggestions was that while the DCMS committee seemed sympathetic to the Broken Record campaign’s arguments, the government ministers seemed to be leaning more towards labels’ view of the world.

The letter shows that the former group are going to work hard to change that, and in wheeling out the musical big guns, the intensity of the lobbying has stepped up several notches – even before the DCMS committee’s report has come out. Labels and their representative body the BPI must now decide how best to respond.

Here is the full text of the letter, and its signatories:

———-

Dear Prime Minister,

We write to you on behalf of today’s generation of artists, musicians and songwriters here in the UK.

For too long, streaming platforms, record labels and other internet giants have exploited performers and creators without rewarding them fairly. We must put the value of music back where it belongs – in the hands of music makers.

Streaming is quickly replacing radio as our main means of music communication. However, the law has not kept up with the pace of technological change and, as a result, performers and songwriters do not enjoy the same protections as they do in radio.

Today’s musicians receive very little income from their performances – most featured artists receive tiny fractions of a US cent per stream and session musicians receive nothing at all.

To remedy this, only two words need to change in the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. This will modernise the law so that today’s performers receive a share of revenues, just like they enjoy in radio. It won’t cost the taxpayer a penny but will put more money in the pockets of UK taxpayers and raise revenues for public services like the NHS.

There is evidence of multinational corporations wielding extraordinary power and songwriters struggling as a result. An immediate government referral to the Competition and Markets Authority is the first step to address this. Songwriters earn 50% of radio revenues, but only 15% in streaming. We believe that in a truly free market the song will achieve greater value.

Ultimately though, we need a regulator to ensure the lawful and fair treatment of music makers. The UK has a proud history of protecting its producers, entrepreneurs and inventors. We believe British creators deserve the same protections as other industries whose work is devalued when exploited as a loss-leader.

By addressing these problems, we will make the UK the best place in the world to be a musician or a songwriter, allow recording studios and the UK session scene to thrive once again, strengthen our world leading cultural sector, allow the market for recorded music to flourish for listeners and creators, and unearth a new generation of talent.

We urge you to take these forward and ensure the music industry is part of your levelling-up agenda as we kickstart the post-Covid economic recovery.

Yours sincerely,

Upcoming performances by Sarah Connolly

[NOTE: this post is now out of date. Check the schedule tag on my blog for the most recent version of this list.]

After the jump: an unofficial schedule of Sarah Connolly’s future performances. Those of you in Britain may catch a performance in London, Brighton, Oxford, Worcester, Buxton, Deal, Lewes, or Effingham (Surrey). Those on the Continent may see her in Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Brussels, Barcelona, Rotterdam, Schwarzenberg, Vilabertran (near Figueres, Catalunya), or Città della Pieve (in the province of Perugia). Those of us on this side of the Atlantic can look forward to concert dates in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Lenox, Massachusetts. Plus! I am adding online broadcast details as they become available.

This is not an authoritative list. These are the upcoming performances by Sarah Connolly that I have been able to learn about from Connolly's website (not currently being updated), her agent's website (Askonas Holt), Operabase, Connolly's Twitter, and generally ferreting around the web.

Some of these listings are not yet officially confirmed; you should of course check official sources before making plans and be aware that cast changes and cancellations can happen at any time.

I have added links to venue, ticketing, and broadcast information where available. Tips on new information are always welcome! Please contact me via email (verdiprati [at] selveamene [dot] com), Tumblr messaging, or ask box (plain prose only in the ask box; anything with links or an email address will get eaten by Tumblr filters) with corrections or additions.

Berlioz, Les nuits d’été with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment at the Southbank Centre, London, February 20, 2017. Part of a Berlioz and Mendelssohn concert—formerly headlined “Sarah Connolly’s Berlioz,” now “Sarah Connolly’s Nights of Summer”—directed by Kati Debretzeni.

Rossini, Stabat Mater at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Paris, March 2, 2017. Also starring Patricia Ciofi, Paolo Fanale, and Nahuel di Pierro. With the Orchestre National de France and the Chœur de Radio France conducted by James Gaffigan. Also on the program: Schubert’s Symphony No. 3. Update: although the TCE website still lists Connolly’s name as one of the soloists, the website for the orchestra (which is presumably responsible for the casting) has changed to list Varduhi Abrahamyan as the mezzo soloist.

[New details! Broadcast] This concert is scheduled for live broadcast on France Musique. France Musique keeps most but not all of their broadcasts online for catch-up listening for a few weeks after the original transmission; I can’t promise that this program will be available after the initial broadcast but it seems not unlikely.

[New details!] Recital at the Holywell Music Room, Oxford, March 6, 2016. Part of Connolly’s service as Oriel College's Visiting Musician for the 2016-17 academic year. Although the Oriel website does not mention Connolly’s accompanist nor the repertoire chosen for the recital, it would appear from Joseph Middleton’s website that the two of them will be performing the same works by Schumann, Mahler, Poulenc, Copland, and Richard Rodney Bennett programmed for their US tour (see the next three entries).

Recital at Spivey Hall, Clayton State University, Atlanta, March 11, 2017. With Joseph Middleton. Works by Schumann, Mahler, Poulenc, Copland, and Richard Rodney Bennett. Broadcast possibility: many of the performances at Spivey Hall are recorded for deferred broadcast.

Recitals at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, March 15 and 17, 2017. With Joseph Middleton. The Armory website does not mention the repertoire, but presumably the recital program on both nights will be the same as Connolly and Middleton are performing together in Atlanta (above) and San Francisco (below). After-the-fact UPDATE: Berlioz’ Les nuits d’été was substituted for the Mahler Rückert-lieder in the New York performances (I don’t know why, but maybe the venue asked for something different).

Recital at the Herbst Theatre, San Francisco, March 23, 2017. With Joseph Middleton. Songs by Schumann, Mahler, Poulenc, Copland, and Richard Rodney Bennett. Special note: according to the San Francisco Performances season brochure (PDF link), this concert is available for sponsorship by a Concert Partner. For a donation of $750 or more, a Concert Partner receives benefits including tickets to the performance and an opportunity to meet the artist.

Mahler, Das Lied von der Erde with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago, March 30, March 31, and April 1, 2017. With Stephen Gould [edited after the fact: Gould withdrew from the second and third performances due to illness and was replaced by Richard Cox]. Bernard Haitink James Conlon [PDF] conducts. In a program also containing Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 (previously listed as Haydn’s Symphony No. 60).

Mahler, Symphony No. 8 “Symphony of a thousand” with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, London, April 8, 2017. With Melanie Diener Judith Howarth, Anne Schwanewilms, Sofia Fomina, Patricia Bardon, Torsten Kerl Barry Banks, Matthias Goerne Stephen Gadd, Matthew Rose, the London Philharmonic Choir, and the Tiffin Boys’ Choir. Conducted by Vladimir Jurowski. UPDATE: As of April 6, Sarah Connolly has been replaced by Michaela Selinger.

[New details] Recital at Wigmore Hall, London, April 10, 2017. With Joseph Middleton. The recently-updated program features works by John Ireland, Frank Bridge, Gustav Holst, Benjamin Britten, and Sir Richard Rodney Bennett along with the first London performance of the Torsten Rasch song cycle A Welsh Night that Connolly and Middleton premiered at the Three Choirs Festival in 2015. In A Welsh Night, Rasch sets a collection of poems by the Welsh poet Alun Lewis; an orchestrated version of the songs will be premiered at the 2017 Three Choirs Festival, again with Connolly as the vocalist (see concert details below). UPDATE: As of April 7, Wigmore Hall has announced that Kitty Whately will step in for Sarah Connolly on Monday afternoon. As of this writing, the program details have been erased from the Wigmore website; presumably changes will be made, especially since the Rasch songs were written for Sarah Connolly and would not be in any other singer’s repertoire yet.

[Broadcast] As part of the BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Concerts series, this recital will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.

Handel, Arias and Duets, Gala Concert of the Investec International Music Festival, St Theresa’s School, Effingham, Surrey, May 7, 2017. With Rosemary Joshua and The English Concert conducted by Harry Bicket.

Also starring Allan Clayton (Hamlet), Barbara Hannigan (Ophelia), Rod Gilfry (Claudius), Kim Begley (Polonius), and John Tomlinson (Ghost of Old Hamlet). With the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Jurowski. Booking opens to the public on March 5, 2017.

[Livestream] The July 6 performance of Hamlet is scheduled for livestreaming to cinemas and online; the online stream will be free to watch. Hat tip to Avis Melodia for pointing this out in the Sarah Connolly fan group on Facebook.

[New details!] Recital at the Deal Festival, St George’s Church, Deal, Kent, July 8, 2017. With Joseph Middleton in a program titled “Love and Life.”

Wagner, Das Rheingold (Fricka) at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusets, July 15, 2017. In a concert performance with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andris Nelsons. Also starring Thomas J. Mayer (Wotan), Kim Begley (Loge), David Cangelosi (Mime), Jochen Schmeckenbecker (Alberich), Morris Robinson (Fasolt), Ain Anger (Fafner), Malin Christensson (Freia), Jacqueline Echols (Woglinde), Catherine Martin (Wellgunde), Renée Tatum (Flosshilde), Patricia Bardon (Erda), David Butt Philip (Froh), and Ryan McKinney (Donner).

[Broadcast: TBC] Although it is not yet on the broadcast schedule as of this writing, this Saturday night concert by the BSO will almost certainly be broadcast (and made available for listening on demand) by WGBH.

Recital at the Buxton Festival, Buxton, July 22, 2017. With Joseph Middleton. Songs by Schumann, Berlioz, Poulenc, Copland, and R. R. Bennett. (Thanks to an eagle-eyed Connolly fan for tipping me off to this listing!)

[New!] Solo performance in a fundraising concert for Common and Kind, Union Chapel, Islington, London, July 25, 2017. Mentioned passim in a Facebook post by the charity. Details TBA.

Torsten Rasch, A Welsh Night at the Three Choirs Festival, Worcester, July 26, 2017. In a concert with Strauss’s Metamorphosen and Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass. Conducted by Frank Beermann. A newly orchestrated version of Rasch’s song sequence A Welsh Night will be premiered at the 2017 Three Choirs Festival; Sarah Connolly performed the original version for mezzo-soprano and piano with Joseph Middleton at their 2015 Three Choirs recital.

Recital at Incontri in Terra di Siena [PDF link], Teatro degli Avvaloranti, Città della Pieve, Perugia, Italy, August 5, 2017. With accompanist Julius Drake. Program details TBC. Tickets go on sale April 1 and the festival website advises that “Booking is essential due to the limited number of seats.”

[New!] Recital at the Schubertíada Vilabertran, Vilabertran (near Figueres), Catalunya, August 24, 2017. With Malcolm Martineau. Songs by R. Strauss, Zemlinsky, Eisler, Korngold, Copland, and Britten. Broadcast possibility: many recitals from the 2015 Schubertíada Vilabertran, where Connolly made her festival debut, were broadcast either live or deferred on Catalunya Música; I’m hoping this recital from the 2017 festival will come up for broadcast, too.

[New!] Mahler, Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection,” with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, September 20, 2017. Vladimir Jurowski conducts and Maria Bengtsson sings the soprano part. Also with the Rundfunkchor Berlin. Tickets go on sale July 17, 2017.

[Broadcast] No details yet, but the Deutschlandradio Kultur logo appears on the page under the phrase “Concert with,” so I am assuming the concert will be broadcast either live or deferred.

Recital at Wigmore Hall, London, September 29, 2017. With Malcolm Martineau. Just the date is mentioned in the Wigmore Hall season brochure [PDF link], but thanks to an informant with access to a recent print mailing from the Wigmore, I can tell you that the program includes songs by Strauss, Zemlinsky, Eisler, Korngold, Copland, and Britten.

Mahler, Das Lied von der Erde at Kings Place, London, October 14, 2017. With Andrew Staples and the Aurora Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Collon. Das Lied will be played in an arrangement by Iain Farrington for sixteen instruments. This concert, oddly enough, is part of the orchestra’s “Mozart’s Piano” series, pairing Das Lied with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 11.

[New! Details TBA] Participation in the Oxford Lieder Festival, Oxford, October 13-28. The theme for 2017 is “The Last of the Romantics—Mahler and Fin-de-Siècle Vienna.” I will update this list when I learn more about the details of Connolly’s participation.

[New!] Wagner, Tristan und Isolde (Brangäne) at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, November 28 and December 2, 4, 7, 10, 12, and 15, 2017. With Stefan Vinke (Tristan), Iréne Theorin (Isolde), Albert Dohmen (Marke), Greer Grimsley (Kurwenal), et al., in a production directed by Àlex Ollé. Musical direction by Josep Pons.

[New!] Handel, Ariodante (title role) at the Wiener Staatsoper, February 24 and 26 and March 1, 4, and 8, 2018. With Chen Reiss (Ginevra), Hila Fahima (Dalinda), Christphe Dumaux (Polinesso), and Rainer Trost (Lurcanio). The casting of the King of Scotland seems to be TBA. The production is directed by David McVicar and the music is supplied by Les Arts Florissants conducted by William Christie.

[Livestream] The opera is scheduled for livestreaming on Sunday, March 4. There is a fee of €14 to watch the livestream.

[New!] Mahler, Symphony No. 8 “Symphony of a Thousand” at de Doelen, Rotterdam, March 23 and 25, 2018. With the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. The other soloists are Angela Meade, Erin Wall, Lisette Oropesa, Mihoko Fujimura, Michael Schade, Markus Werba, and Christof Fischesser. On choral duty are the Groot Omroep Koor, Rotterdam Symphony Chorus, Orfeon Donostiarra, and Nationaal Kinderkoor.

[New!] Mahler, Symphony No. 8 “Symphony of a Thousand” at BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels, March 24, 2018. With the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra; same details as the Rotterdam performances listed above. Broadcast possibility: this concert is part of the 2018 Klarafestival sponsored by the Klara radio station, so it seems like a good candidate for broadcast.

[Masterclasses] Teaching duties for the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme at Snape Maltings in Aldeburgh, England, March 23-April 1, 2018. A course on Handel’s Theodora to be co-taught with conductor Christian Curnyn. Although this doesn’t really count as a performance by Sarah Connolly, I am adding it to my “unofficial schedule” of her work with the thought that fans who live in the area might want to attend some of the public masterclasses Sarah Connolly will be teaching or the culminating performance by young artists she will have coached. (Note that the first weekend of this program clashes with the Mahler 8 concerts in Rotterdam, above; it is possible the students will start out working with Christian Curnyn and will pick up with Sarah Connolly a few days into the program.)

[New!] Wagner, Das Rheingold and Die Walküre (Fricka in both) at the Royal Opera, London, September 24 through October 28, 2018. A revival of Keith Warner’s Ring Cycle, with Antonio Pappano conducting. For cast and date details, see the ROH web pages linked above.
