Tonight sees the world-premiere of Jonathan Dove’s UPRISING at Glyndebourne. This mammoth project has been a part of my life since Autumn 2023, when I first went to Jonathan’s house to discuss chorus allocations. (🧵)

As assistant conductor and chorus master for this show, I have been in the lucky position to be across every aspect of this show. I first auditioned our chorus of 110 (!) local singers last June, and then spent a joyous autumn teaching them this music. (Cont.)
Then in January, our professional cast arrived, and it has been such a joy to work with them as they brought the show to life alongside our choirs. This show has world-class performers performing alongside total amateurs - and everything in between. (Cont.)
I am so, so proud of the work of every single person involved in the making of this production. It has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my career, and one that will stay with me forever. I am particularly proud of what our chorus have achieved - they really do steal the show (Cont. )
