Barbe-Bleue

I just love the poster for our recent production of Ritter Blaubart (Barbe-Bleue) by Offenbach at the Styriarte Festival in Graz.  What an honour to sing a solo under the baton of the great Nikolaus Harnoncourt.  As well as being a member of the chorus, I also had a small role - Eleonore (one of Bluebeard's dead wives).  I emerged from a coffin and sang a stanza in a hungarian-flavoured quintet.


Here's a picture of me in the background, dressed as a french peasant, on the knee of my soldier beau during the galop.
