Hello my friends, and welcome to our Spring 2026 Newsletter!
This beautiful season turning towards us is bringing me so much joy. At the moment I'm in a busy New York run of La traviata, spending as much time outdoors as possible to see the birds migrating through and the flowers blooming!
We've got a few more shows in the month of April. Then I'm taking a month-long break to reset for a bit, focus on preparing two new roles, and having a much needed rest...not sure how to do that at the same time but I'll try my best!
Then in late May, I'm presenting a bel canto recital in Helsinki, Finland, alongside my friend and pianist Alessandro Praticò. My major project of the season, I feel extremely grateful to share, will be a new production of I puritani, this time directed by Sir Richard Jones, at Covent Garden. There will be 7 performances in June and early July.
We are so looking forward to being back in gorgeous London for the late spring and early summer, and especially working with Sir Richard again.
Also, I'm giving a masterclass at the University of Southampton in early July!
