Lee Bisset, soprano, who would have been singing her first Brünnhilde in Die Walküre for Longborough this summer, is in lockdown with her family at home in Sussex. She had a Zoom conversation with our Stage Manager Nick Fowler, which is available here:

Apologies for the occasional glitches – internet connection was a bit unreliable.

Lee also sent us a video of her and her husband, conductor David Angus, performing Wagner’s Träume from the Wesendonck Lieder, available here:

Pauls Putnins, who would of course have been understudying Wotan in the Longborough Die Walküre at the moment, is in lockdown in Riga, Latvia, in order to look after his parents. He and Nick Fowler, Mastersingers Stage Manager, had a Zoom conversation on Thursday 28th May, which Nick recorded, and is available here:

An extract from the concert for Latvian National Radio, of Pauls singing Wotan’s Abendlich strahlt from Das Rheingold, is available here:
