Let's Talk About The Arts

It was such a joy to be joined by a top colleagues I've had the privilege to work with over the years, baritone Aaron O'Hare. It was even more fun to learn a little more about his journey into opera and how he is always so cool, calm and collected in the rehearsal room. 

Delighted to be joined by Dublin Culture Night Ambassador Ola Majekodunmi to discuss what culture and the arts mean to her, how she views the culture of Dublin and kindly shares one of her bi-lingual poems. She also inspired me to add some Irish to my outro (hope you're proud Ola!)

In this week's episode, I'm joined by tenor Matthew Mckinney to chat about the topic on every tenors lips; top notes. Matthew also chats about his passion for fel running on the Scottish hills, exploring his craft and his move to London.  

I was delighted to be joined in studio by the founders of Sonder Magazine, Sinead Creedon and Orla Murphy ahead of the release of their fifth issue based around the theme of Indulgence.

They have also kindly shared readings of some of the pieces from the contributors that will be featured in the issue. 

This week I'm joined by soprano, Catriona Hewitson to discuss the importance of mental health, a support system and Rupaul's Drag Race.

In the final episode of the first Collective series, I'm joined by the wonderfully insightful and challenging opera director Julia Burbach. This chat almost felt like it was meant to be the final chat as we explored the idea of being a woman in opera, climbing the ladder in the industry, updating operas and an Instagram post which helped sum up the series. 

In this week's episode, I'm joined by mezzo-soprano Amy J Payne to break down some walls and stigmas within the operatic world.

The penultimate episode of the series is with the gorgeous and thought provoking director, librettist and coach, Laura Attridge.

We have chats about the ego, process, letting go and I tell Laura how she inpired the series being based around 6 female artists.
