Stumbled across a clip of when I dressed up as Toad of Toad Hall and did the #BBCProms in 2018. What a gloriously fun & tweed heavy night performing On the Town with #JohnWilson and the #LSO it was! Better times! #savethearts #savelivetheatre – at Kensington, London

Of the many exciting projects that fill my 2026/27 season this has to be right up there with the most thrilling! Performing Nick Bottom in the @maggiomusicale premiere of Deborah Warner's A Midsummer Night's Dream staging is truly a dream come true! #opera – at Italy

We opened and it was a gorgeous evening, such a special group of people, congrats to all involved! The nostalgia was rife for myself revisiting this fantastic production for the first time in half a decade. Excited for the rest of the run! #PeterGrimes @rbo_org

It's been 5 years since we premiered our Grimes at @Teatro_Real deep in the heart of Covid when live theatre was a massive rarity worldwide. 'Twas such a special experience & a production which will always be close to my heart so I'm thrilled to be back with it again at @rbo_org – at London, England

This weekend we performed the first revival of David Hermann's staging of From the House of the Dead at @operfrankfurt. It's almost seven years since the premiere but somehow despite this they still haven't managed to find me a shirt. Bravi tutti! #AusEinemTotenhaus #opera – at Frankfurt on the Main, Germany
