🖤 Ophélie 🖤 Closing night here in #sydney a 🖤 Ophélie 🖤 Closing night here in #sydney and what a season we’ve had. I feel like I’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of the possibilities of this character and now I have to say goodbye… for now 🤫 
Feeling a huge amount of gratitude to everyone who made this a possibility including especially the @auscouncilarts and @phoenixcentralpark . And of course the wonderful public, who have responded so enthusiastically to this wild little beastie of a work. Very lucky to have such an amazing team in Con, Claudia and Francis (many hours spent reassembling this puzzle after I destroy it each show 😅)
Hurrah for experimental Australian music theatre ⚡️ 
.
Flying to #brisbane early tomorrow to launch the @queenslandartsongfest with @sholto.kynoch @benjaminapplbaritone and many more wonderful artists at the @qldcon and @uniofqld . Be sure to check the festival schedule for a week of Art Song Adventures.

After 2 years of blood, sweat and tears, a great p After 2 years of blood, sweat and tears, a great passion project has finally come to fruition. In 2021 I received an @auscouncilarts grant to develop a new theatrical work exploring the many faces of Shakespeare’s Ophelia in classical music. Covid derailed this project many times, until we final found our dream home at @phoenixcentralpark . Tonight, we open. To my brilliant team of creatives, co-creators @constantinecosti &  @clausborne and our wonderful MD, Francis Greep, thank you for joining me on this mission to realise this wacky vision of what contemporary opera could look like. Thank you to our brilliant musicians. And thank you to @phoenixcentralpark for believing in this idea!
Four shows this week in Sydney, totally booked out, very happy soprano.

So honoured to have been awarded 2nd Prize at the So honoured to have been awarded 2nd Prize at the International Haydn Competition for Classical Lied and Aria in Austria this weekend! I was joined by wonderful pianist @malte_schaefer_tonkuenstler for three jam-packed days of Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart in the place of Haydn’s birth! It was a great thrill to perform his music in the same building where he was born! 
.
Congratulations to all the competitors and prize winners, and huge thank you to my manager Samantha Farber at @sono_artists for her incredible support! 
Also my enormous gratitude goes to @michaellinsbauer and the Haydnregion Niederösterreich for holding this wonderful event, sponsoring my prize, and encouraging the performance of this beautiful music.

“Alexandra Flood succeeds in a remarkable role d “Alexandra Flood succeeds in a remarkable role debut, with youthful freshness in achieving her goals as Anna Reich” - Online Merker

“She then presents what is probably the most beautiful aria of the evening in a truly flawless manner. Dreamy yearning, full of longing, life-affirming, expressive, vocally sparkling and clear. We are privileged to experience an aria in the best tradition of German High Romanticism, and Miss Flood succeeds - undoubtedly through her extensive experience in German Lied - in rendering it with feeling. So we really melt away…” - The Opera Blog

Show #2 next month, but for now a quick trip to Munich to rehearse with @malte_schaefer_tonkuenstlfor the International Haydn Competition in Rohrau next weekend, and then Cenerentola rehearsals start Monday at the @volksoper ! 😜 Excited to reprise the hilarious ugly step sister Clorinda, which I first performed at the @salzburgerfestspiele almost 10 years ago!!! And to spend some time sitting with gorgeous high classical music in Haydn, Beethoven & Mozart. It’s very refreshing! 
This is a busy 🌸 Spring 🌼 full of beautiful music. 🎶

January 2024 I’ll be making my debut in this seminal role at the wonderful @volksoper Vienna. I’m so grateful to this company for trusting me with this opportunity and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into this meaty role. I’m also making several other debuts this season, including the female lead in Offenbach’s Voyage to the Moon, directed by Laurent Pelly, and Clorinda in La Cenerentola, as well as some wonderful concerts and recitals around the globe. This season will also mark my official relocation to Vienna, which will be our new home for the foreseeable future ♥️

Here’s to an exciting new season!

One of the most wonderful gifts from Das Lied @lie One of the most wonderful gifts from Das Lied @liedzentrum competition at @hdfruehling last month was the @schottmusic newly-released critical edition of the complete songs of Richard Strauss. R. Strauss is my absolute favourite composer to sing, especially his Lieder, which taught me so much about music and expression. I’m so grateful to @schottmusic for sponsoring this very generous and treasured gift! I will make very good use of it!

🏅Beside myself to have won 3rd Prize at @hdfrue 🏅Beside myself to have won 3rd Prize at @hdfruehling @liedzentrum Das Lied Wettbewerb at the renowned Heidelberger Frühling in Germany last weekend. Art Song - especially Kunstlied - has been such an integral part of my artistic life and to be able to honour that with this prize is just the most wonderful feeling. We opened the final with Schumann’s “Die Lotosblume” which I first performed when I was twelve - 20 years ago - and even back then, when I had no idea about flower symbolism in German Romanticism 🙃 , the song spoke to me and speaks to me still. I truly felt like the Lotosblume, opening myself to the intimate moonlight that is Kunstlied. My unending gratitude must go to to @thomasquasthoff for founding such a brilliant and important Art Song event for our industry, to the judging panel, the entire organisation for their incredible support and professionalism throughout, my colleagues and fellow competitors who made the experiences so much fun and alongside whom I felt a great honour to perform, and of course to the wonderful @hannahbbbanana for joining me on the crazy journey that is an Art Song competition! 🤪
.
I have a big announcement to share at the end of March which will entail incorporating a LOT more Art Song into my life. Can’t wait to share that with you all.

A few days prepping and then back to Vienna for the rest of the season!

Thrilled to be returning to Vienna sooner than expected, but not before a little R&R, announcement of a biiiig project I’ve been working on for 18 months, and Das Lied competition with the @liedzentrum @hdfruehling and @hannahbbbanana ! 
Very much looking forward to dinners with friends, my birthday, calm, private study and @neilsemer ‘s upcoming Eurotrip!

Last concert at the @volksoper last night! I debut Last concert at the @volksoper last night! I debuted two French arias - Valse d’Edwige from “Robison Crusoe” and Valse Tyrolienne from “Un mari à la porte” - both effervescent and bombastic party pieces by Offenbach. (And I didn’t forget any words! 🙃) 
This concert rounded out a thrilling winter season for me at this fabulous company. I’ll be back in Spring for two further opera productions and I can’t wait. Thank you to the Opera Studio Director @maurice.lenhard for inviting me to join this fun concert and to Rafael Salas-Chia for his very supportive and inspired playing ❤️. Also to the @volksoper costume department for finding me (and tailoring) this elegant dress at the last minute (after I realised a few hours before the concert I’d already sent all my gowns back to Paris 🙈)
Now for some much needed R&R, including a trip to #avignon for @alexanderjamesyork and @edliddall ‘s Spanish recital at @operagrandavignon ! So wonderful to have @narellafloodcoaching here too! Can’t wait for the rest of 2023.

I have had such a wonderful time performing Pamina I have had such a wonderful time performing Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute at the @volksoper in Vienna (here taking my curtain call with @tobiaswoegerer - we both and our debuts with this piece!). And it has been like coming home. I feel like everything I have learned about singing I had to apply for this role. And having the chance to perform it, on stage, in Vienna, where the Magic Flute had its debut in 1791, with such magnificent company in such a storied house has been a dream come true. Closing night tomorrow and @narellafloodcoaching is here to see it! A perfect way to end my current Viennese sojourn. (Not before a fabulous French operetta concert with the @volksoper Opera. Studio). Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon 😉😘

Gretel premiere at the @volksoper this weekend! My Gretel premiere at the @volksoper this weekend! My time as a soloist in residence at this storied house has been a whirlwind - can’t believe I‘ve already been here for 2.5 months! The music is stunning and I’m loving the beautiful, very traditional production with *real* Lebkuchen (gingerbread) that will pull off the witch’s house! Gretel is a meaty role and managing the middle voice passages has been a journey but I’m grateful for the opportunity to focus on something my usually higher repertoire doesn’t always tap into. The colleagues are wonderful and I can‘t wait to make this music! So excited to meet all the children and for the gorgeous @wallis.giunta ’s Hänsel debut with Maestro @carlogoldstein this Sunday!
