Time for me to say goodbye to Twitter. I’ll be over on Threads @paul.stanhope.73 in the unlikely event that you’d like to find me. Like many, I cannot continue on an already hateful platform run by Elon Musk and the direction he had taken it. Peace.

Today I found myself conducting a piece with a rubber chicken mounted on a remote control car, a soloist singing the role of a cow on knee roller skates and a chorus with a Picasso inspired Giant. Another day at the office @sydneycon!

Am loving the @Channel9 commentary team’s attempted pronunciation of French. “La Defense” sounding like “lada fence”. And the hello greeting “bon-jew-a”.

Australian journalists are pronouncing the new British PM’s name as “Skier Starmer”. No need for 4 syllables when you can use 3! 🤣

Great to see @OperaAustralia supporting Australian music theatre with this very moving story of “Watershed”. The music by @joetwistmusic has obvious audience appeal. Would like to have heard a more lush orchestration - something to consider for future performances?
