After an amazing month, I'm now back in London preparing for some of my upcoming projects. I'll tell you a bit more about them shortly but they include a lecture about Verdi's Macbeth at Cadogan Hall and also a fundraiser for Age Unlimited who help young people growing up with no prospects, and the very elderly who have lost any hope that they will be treated with dignity during their remaining years. Both these projects are for the wonderful organisation Opera Prelude who have been an amazing platform for me and for my work over the last couple of years.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with some really cool pictures from Carmelites, taken by talented photographer Bruno Simão and kindly given to me by the São Carlos National Theatre.

I hope you enjoy the pictures!
