Last week we celebrated the birthday to our dear friend, Dame Janet Baker. 🥰 In June, Dame Janet attended a London recital by our 24/25 Emerging Artists. At this joyful occasion, the group met Dame Janet, who passed on her wisdom to the group. A very special moment, indeed.

Ravel's L’heure espagnole & Walton's The Bear – laughter, scandal and a touch of emotion. 🐻 We’re returning to Lammermuir Festival with two comedies facing the darkly hilarious aspects of betrayal and infidelity head on. 🎫: www.scottishopera.org.uk/.../l-heure-...
