In a co-production with Opéra de Massy, Landestheater Linz, Fondazione Teatro Comunale di Modena, I have had the real pleasure of working as “chef du chant” on an exciting new project called ‘Vanishings’.

Conceived by stage director, Lukas Hemleb, it is the merging and staging of two great chamber works: The Diary of One Who Disappeared (Janáček) and Növények (Thomas Adès).

On Friday 13th March, we premiered the production in Paris!

It really was an incredible experience from start to finish and a great team-effort. The whole process allowed us to dive deeply into the text, explore the sub-context and tell the story clearly. I wish to personally thank all of my colleagues and the Opéra Massy for such a warm and positive process and stay in Paris.

Here is the link to the full programme which can be read online. (Opens in a new tab).

Below are a few photos from the dress rehearsal.
