As the weather becomes cooler, it's the perfect time to listen to Schubert's 'Winterreise'. My longtime Liedpartner Wolfram Rieger and I return to this great work at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden on 1 Nov

Happy #WorldOperaDay! Thinking about this day reminded me of the first time I was bitten by the "opera bug". I hope everyone spends today enjoying at least a little bit opera, and reflecting on how lucky we all are to have been bitten by opera bugs 🙏

🎂 Happy Birthday to Giuseppe Verdi! From 'Simon Boccanegra' to 'Don Carlos' to 'Falstaff', his genius left us a treasure trove of high drama, great art, and damned good music.

To honor Verdi, here is a clip of "Pieta rispetto amore" from the final act of 'Macbeth' (Opernhaus Zürich, 2001).
