"An operastic day" (diary entry)

What an "operastic" day yesterday.

First I went to the conference "Sounding out: Stage notes" at the Royal Opera House where Hue Watkins, Julian Philips, Martin Crimps, Judith Weir and others talked about the contemporary opera, the creative process, the ups and downs, how to get a foothold in the tough world of opera-making.


Then a coffee in Covent Garden while listening to all the necessary opera classics for soprano performed.


The climax was going with Hringur (aka´d "Ringo) to see "Written on Skin" and that´s a show I have to highly recommend! "Award-winning director Katie Mitchell brings a dark and passionate tale from composer George Benjamin and author Martin Crimp to the stage"

I´d love to see it again if I get the chance.
