Blue skies and buildings! Enjoying a gorgeous week in Barcelona with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra (Orquestra OBS) L'Auditori 🇪🇸😍💙

Such sad news. Nic was a beautiful artist and I count myself immensely lucky to have worked with him on my first Nozze Glyndebourne where he was nothing but kind and supportive to those around him. My thoughts go out to his family

The first person ever to run the entire length of Africa. Mission complete🫡

Currently working on Missy Mazzoli’s Breaking the Waves Detroit Opera - Detroit Opera House

Un grand merci à Thierry Hillériteau pour ce très beau papier dans Le Figaro ! ✨
Un honneur et une joie de pouvoir mettre en lumière les femmes cheffes d’orchestre à travers le concours La Maestra, initié par Claire Gibault, le Paris Mozart Orchestra et la Philharmonie de Paris

I went to the local library and strolled very slowly back up the main street, pausing to buy two teaspoons and a root of celery, feeling contented with the content that comes from feeling that the world is all right, even if I am all wrong.

Si la #SaintValentin vous déprime, sachez qu'il y a quelqu'un qui déprime encore plus que vous, c'est Roland Barthes! 🥴😔Florilège sous forme d'abécédaire des défintions 'Fragments d'un discours amoureux'! Vous dire laquelle est la meilleure/pire? ⬇️

Happy Valentine's Day to those celebrating!

2 incredibly moving exhibitions in Paris: the Rothko retrospective Fondation LV (my favourite 20C artist, he often listened to Mozart’s operas whilst working) and Raphaël Barontini’s We Could Be Heroes expo at le Panthéon. Heartily recommend! ✨

A wonderful weekend spent with this most wonderful cast.

Having an incredible time in Paris, and still pinching myself that I get to call this city and this production my home for the next two months 🥰

I should never call myself a book lover, any more than a people lover: it all depends what’s inside them.
