Astonished by the miracle that is the @lfotweet Ring Cycle, after a staggering Gotterdammerung tonight. @LeeBisset’s Brunnhilde, the Wotan of @PaulCareyJones and the Hagen of Julian Close as good as I’ve seen anywhere.

Kudos to @LeeBisset for a searing portrayal of Brünnhilde in Götterdämmerung at @lfotweet yesterday. In a dark, male-dominated opera, Bisset's passionately sung performance was a gleaming symbol of fierce intelligence and female agency.

On Benjamin Britten’s 50th birthday, William Walton wrote: ‘Your music shines out as a beacon in a chaotic and barren musical world.’
Britten also wrote about Walton’s influence: ‘I’d got in a muddle… you showed me the way of being relaxed and fresh and intensely personal.’

Reviewing Die Walküre at Longborough Festival Opera for Opera Now, Adrian Mourby writes,
“Lee Bisset as Brünnhilde absolutely shone…this glorious voice conveyed youthful excitement within the confines of complete musical control.” @LeeBisset @lfotweet

Applications are now open for IDEA Opera Grants, a program that supports composers and librettists who identify as African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and/or Native American in the development of new operatic works and the advancement of their careers in the opera industry.

Desert In is certainly something different. Comprised of eight 15- to 20-minute episodes, it’s an operatic experiment for the screen born of the pandemic and created at a time when streamable content was all audiences could hope for. And …

Just one week to go until we start our 2021 season - beginning with a concert production of Die Walküre in our beloved theatre. Exciting times! 🎶

Really important conversations about vocal injury, how easily it can happen, how likely it is to happen, how quickly it can spiral out of control and what we can do about it. Required listening for professional voice users.
Thank you @VoiceValentine and @JenevoraW.
Out now, discussing managing vocal load with @sopranokate and Dr @jenevoraw

Today would have been the first night of our 2020 season, with the opening of Wagner’s Die Walküre. Instead, enjoy a short piece of Wagner (Träume, from Wesendonck Lieder) sung by our Brünnhilde @LeeBisset and accompanied by @OperaMaestro youtu.be/ai7dJQr5YpA

Have a listen to a very short bit of Alban Berg (Im Zimmer) from @LeeBisset and @OperaMaestro on @BBCRadio4: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000ht… at 2:58:00 🎶. Lee would have been singing her first Brünnhilde with us in June.

David Angus retweeted
Fantastic Isolde from Lee Bisset in Tristan @KonzertTheaterB - like watching Joan Collins in Dynasty. Vocally robust & just overflowing with charisma, she brought a new dimension: comedy, tenderness, sexiness, vivacity and a Liebestod that Liza Minnelli couldn’t have bettered. – at Berne, Switzerland
