Adam BlackwoodGUEST
And again, through contacts, I got to know very well the National Opera Studio and I went to them and I said, look, I'd like some lovely new emerging young singers who are about to break through and people who've been also on the Yetta Parker program at the Royal Opera House.
Adam BlackwoodGUEST
It's a great way of bringing, almost Glyndebourne do this as well.
Adam BlackwoodGUEST
They bring in new talent.
Adam BlackwoodGUEST
So to bring lovely, so this is emerging talent.
John TusaHOST
Um, and I have a copy of it here, and I have your signature.
John TusaHOST
You signed it for me, and, um, I'm going to end just by reading the last two paragraphs, 'cause these are your last words about your last performance, and this is a performance at Glyndebourne of Gluck's Orfeo.
Janet BakerGUEST
Right.
John TusaHOST
"I went back to my dressing room, checked to see nothing was left behind, and walked out to the theater by the door at the back of the stage.
ErinHOST
I don't think people really care that much.
ErinHOST
I don't think people are going to go, oh, Erin O'Rourke, who was just in the chorus at Glyndebourne for a year, we'll never hire her now.
ErinHOST
Like, no one gives that much of a fuck about me as Erin.
ErinHOST
You know what I mean? No.
Tom AllenHOST
Mm.
Richard ColesGUEST
So black tie at Glyndebourne is sort of broken down now, and black tie at Bayreuth is bl- breaking.
Richard ColesGUEST
All those places where black tie was just something you just did.
Richard ColesGUEST
And, you know, there are lots of good reasons for that.
Louisa ProskeGUEST
So I do think that the cameras will catch things that you just don't see, you know, because they're really in the face, um, and in the, in their looks.
Louisa ProskeGUEST
But I think, you know, what I thought about much more, of course, is the people who are, like, in the back of the last orchestra, 'cause I constantly ask myself, "Okay, will this read?" You know, am I making a picture that will transmit itself to that distance? 'Cause of course that's the, that is, you know, what you don't have at Glyndebourne, what you don't have in Halle, just the sheer distance, um, that a lot of the audience are at.
Louisa ProskeGUEST
And so you have to make sure that you really make something that, um, you know, reads well from the front and also reads well from the very, very back.
Oliver CamachoHOST
I th- I know that a lot of the work of the director is, like, you know, directing traffic and thinking about transitions and entrances and costumes, and this tableau that you're talking about just now.
Rihab ChaiebGUEST
So I love doing these new productions where I have the chance to talk with the director, to create something together.
Rihab ChaiebGUEST
For instance, like this production and the last new production I've done at Glyndebourne, I was the one who decided on the death scene.

Wow.

Because,
Alexandra HaddowPANELIST
Stop it.
Russell KaneHOST
Uh, Pavarotti's career accelerated, performing at Glyndebourne and in leading roles.
Russell KaneHOST
And in 1965, he made his American debut in Miami opposite Joan Sutherland.
Russell KaneHOST
Their partnership became historic.
Nick CurtisHOST
It's excellent.
Nick CurtisHOST
They've managed to keep the sort of atmosphere of that sort of hand-built theatre, which always looked like Glyndebourne built by Wombles, I thought.
Nick CurtisHOST
Yeah, excellent.
Nick ClarkHOST
Kimberly Akimbo at the Hampstead Theatre.
Hattie ButterworthHOST
Tell me a bit about what you sort of do day-to-day in your performing life, because I think a lot of the time we talk to people and actually it's not, they don't know what goes on.
Hattie ButterworthHOST
Because I know you said you've just been playing at Glyndebourne.
Hattie ButterworthHOST
That's just coming to the
Ben MichaelsGUEST
end.
Hilary CroninGUEST
Yes.
Annette IsserlisHOST
Because Glyndebourne's the only time of year the orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is totally the same for the duration of Chopra.
Annette IsserlisHOST
Yeah.
Annette IsserlisHOST
And that's really nice because the orchestra evolves as well if it's the right conductor.
Hilary CroninGUEST
I mean...
Hilary CroninGUEST
I know
Annette IsserlisHOST
at Glyndebourne, they often start off in the chorus and then they'll cover in the festival.
Annette IsserlisHOST
And then they get their chance in the autumn to sing, which is a nice way of doing it.
