It's a man's life in the modern opera: Going beyond the obvious - Kasper Holten and the NOS
http://singerjournal.blogspot.com/2014/05/going-beyond-obvious-kasper-holten-and.html
It's a man's life in the modern opera. A young(ish) opera singer's random thoughts and observations. Wednesday, 7 May 2014. Going beyond the obvious - Kasper Holten and the NOS. Does Santuzza have to be an innocent victim who falls for the wrong man? Does Faust serenade a house just because he is a young man feeling an overwhelming love? It's a difficult ask though, because not all audiences like to be challenged in that way. They know how it should be done and want to be given what they know. Si...Thoug...

It's a man's life in the modern opera: Singing made me unhappy
http://singerjournal.blogspot.com/2014/09/singing-made-me-unhappy.html
It's a man's life in the modern opera. A young(ish) opera singer's random thoughts and observations. Monday, 29 September 2014. Singing made me unhappy. I would overthink everything, which wasn’t helped by all the lectures and Q&A sessions on my various courses that sold the line ‘if you do X you will be employable’. Sing this repertoire (even if you hate it, suck it up), wear this, walk like that, stand just so, shake hands with the panel (or actually never do! 29 September 2014 at 18:19. This resonates...

It's a man's life in the modern opera. A young(ish) opera singer's random thoughts and observations. Sunday, 21 December 2014. So what are these realities? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm a baritone based in London. I've trained at the RWCMD in Cardiff and ENO Opera Works, and am in the fledgling stages of a freelance operatic career, hence most of the blog deals with the experiences of a singer transitioning from college life to the real world. Helpful posts for singers. How to survive recordings.

It's a man's life in the modern opera: Man's worst friend
http://singerjournal.blogspot.com/2015/05/mans-worst-friend.html
It's a man's life in the modern opera. A young(ish) opera singer's random thoughts and observations. Sunday, 3 May 2015. It's taken a few attempts to write this post, especially as it is the sequel to an unexpectedly viral blog. But also among those who by all accounts are at the top of their game, with secure international careers. I posted an inconsequential status update and received an unbelievable outpouring of support from the most tenuous of facebook contacts! It's not about being sad, or disappoi...

It's a man's life in the modern opera. A young(ish) opera singer's random thoughts and observations. Monday, 6 April 2015. How to survive recordings. I'm gearing up to write something much more profound in the near future. Readers may have noticed it's been a while, and a lot has been going on that I will want to address on here one way or another. However today I've decided to touch on something purely practical. 2) The piano - uprights and baby grands need a lot of help in post-production in order to m...

It's a man's life in the modern opera. A young(ish) opera singer's random thoughts and observations. Thursday, 5 December 2013. I've written about this before, but the subject has been coming up in all sorts of places including a meeting with an Equity representative at OperaUpClose (where I'm currently singing Eisenstein), chats with other singers, and when this article. Made the rounds on the social networks. Kicks - enjoyment, fun, artistic fulfilment. Is it a piece I really want to do? Does the pay r...
