I didn't know I had a favourite musical director. Barrington Pheloung was the musical.director and composer for #InspectorMorse #Endeavour and #Lewis. He also contributed to many films and tv shows A wonderful movie about the du Pré sisters, Hilary and Jackie was incredibly scored. The interweaving of #music and #opera with the dramatic themes of Morse is unmatched. Pheloung was only 65 when he died in 2019. The opening theme of Inspector Morse is simple but brilliant. Morse code for M.O.R.S.E. Dated and maudlin at times, it is still classic #TV made better by the music and Morse's relationship to it. https://youtu.be/u20sVtCxf_8

Pictures from last night! This was my outfit for the party after the premiere of “Kain und Abel.” The composer Felix Weingartner originally described my character Ada’s outfit as “loosely wrapped in a robe of white, fluffy fabric,” but in our production, she wears a burgundy business suit and an orange turtleneck sweater. So I wore my own fluffy white ensemble to the party! #KainUndAbel #Weingartner #opera #Darmstadt #Hessen #operaSinger #Ada

On January 27, 1955, less than three weeks after Marian Anderson became the first Black person to sing at the Metropolitan Opera, Robert McFerrin Sr. became the first Black man to sing at the Metropolitan Opera. In 1956, McFerrin played Rigoletto at the Met, thus becoming the first African American to sing a title role there. He also provided the singing to which Sidney Poitier lip-synched in the 1959 film version of Porgy and Bess. McFerrin married Sara Cooper, also an opera singer. They had two children; their son is Bobby McFerrin of "Don't Worry Be Happy" fame and their daughter Brenda is a Motown recording artist. Bobby has three children, of whom two are musicians and one is an actor. #BlackHistory #opera #music #BlackMusic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_McFerrin?wprov=sfla1

Bluebeard's Castle (Complete Opera) by Béla Bartók, Antal Dorati, London Symphony, Olga Szönyi, Mihaly Szekely, released on Mercury in 1963.
