A couple of events involving me that are coming up soon this month if you're in the #Oslo / Lillestrøm area:

On Saturday 6 September (that's this weekend) at 19:00 I'll be taking part in a small stage production of Mozart's opera Don Giovanni along with a bunch of other amateur soloists, with piano accompaniment. If you want to witness my terrific/terrible acting skills and tolerable singing voice, you can choose to do so by attending!

On Saturday 13 September (that's next weekend) I'll be taking part in a full stage production of Verdi's opera adaptation of Macbeth. This will be a full opera choir + orchestra event (and I also have some solo parts in this).

Both of these events will be in Lillestrøm Kultursenter. See https://www.skalaoperakor.no/#Konserter for details if you are interested.

Estic baixant a #Barcelona en un bus de la #Sarfa, en què el xofer ens ha atès en #català i, a més de creure's el millor conductor del món, cosa que li dona dret a corregir a tothom amb el clàxon, ens ha posat una #òpera per entretenir el viatge.

On han quedat aquells xofers de #RádioTeleTaxi i #CadenaCién?

Sung in Japanese, German and Ukrainian, “Natasha” tells the story of an immigrant wandering through a series of hells on Earth. The modern opera opens in Tokyo with a star-studded crosscultural team behind it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/08/09/stage/natasha-opera-japan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #stage #newnationaltheatretokyo #opera #theater #yokotawada #kazushiono #toshiohosokawa

Well done that singer. Not a "wholly inappropriate act" but a clear display of courage, risking their career.
