very excited to be premiering this new project at @o.festival.rotterdam this Saturday August 28, with the exceptional British organist and composer Kit Downes.

We will be test-driving SET PIECES, a musical encounter where a song cycle is created with voice, selected text and unfixed instrumentation (in this case, organ), to conjure a composition that isn’t really there. Immensely excited for this first voyage with Kit, 10PM @dedoelenrotterdam. #operadagenrotterdam #kitdownes #deborahvogel

As another COVID lockdown annihilates the work of

As another COVID lockdown annihilates the work of artists and arts workers across Australia (as it has everywhere), it feels important to acknowledge the labour, income and visions lost over the last 15months of the pandemic for the arts sector, as otherwise it remains invisible - to @scottmorrisonmp @josh.frydenberg.mp and all their international political equivalents. With that in mind, RIP to my 2020/21 work at @thebarbicancentre, @todaysart, @schauspielhausbochum, @oslooperahouseoffical @ultimafestivalen, @southbankcentre @bam_brooklyn @pioneerworks, @sifa_sg #supersensefestival @artscentremelbourne and a whole lot more #getvaccinated #savethearts #bringbackjobkeeper

the world premiere of #theinvisibleopera comes to Singapore International Festival of the Arts this May 28-30. Performed entirely remotely as a music, sound and theatre work in public space, we will be beamed through the worlds largest public square, the world wide web™️, to audiences in Singapore.
All our thanks to @sifa_sg & artistic director @iamgauravkripalani, and to my beloved team of collaborators Lara Thoms, Samara Hersch, Faye Driscoll, Tilman Robinson, CTRL freak Singapore and Freya Waterson. 🔥 here you are welcome. 📷 @piercarthew

A magical exploration of loss and memory last nigh

A magical exploration of loss and memory last night at @memomusichall to mark the Shoah for @museumofinheritedmemories @fojammelbourne. I performed with dear friend @official_paulgrabowsky for the first time in a decade, and sang a Yiddish lullaby written in the Łódz Ghetto by Dovid Beyglman and Isaiah Shpigl before they were both deported to Auschwitz. May their memories be a blessing. #neveragain 📷 @eugenehyland
