I’m really looking forward to revisiting one of my old haunts when I drop in on Loose Women to talk about latest developments, a little bit of health stuff and a lot about what I’ve been doing recently. I hope that you can catch it, Tuesday 8th July at 12.30 on ITV1!

Follies! Northern Ireland Opera
This is really a bit of a dream come true! I am making my debut at the marvellous Northern Ireland Opera and singing in my first music by the great Stephen Sondheim! I’m so grateful to Director Cameron Menzies for asking me and can’t wait until August to begin rehearsals. Look out for details of the performances in Belfast in September.

Bedford Park Proms
I’m so thrilled to be returning to the wonderful Bedford Park Proms on Sunday, 6th July where I’ll be sharing the stage with the lovely Russel Watson, the London Gala Orchestra and Maestro Rob Emery. Look out for more details and expect a rousing evening of music and fun, culminating in our very own Last Night!

Maria Callas – BBC Radio 4
I was so honoured to be asked by BBC Radio 4 to present a programme on the great soprano, Maria Callas to commemorate the centenary of her birth, on 2nd December 1923. And the programme will be broadcast on BBC Radio on that exact day, 2nd December 2023 at 20.00. I had a wonderful time researching and recording it with the eminent psychiatrist and Callas devotee, Dr John Crichton. Do tune in and I hope that you enjoy. BBC Radio 4 – Archive on 4, La Divina

English National Opera
This is quite a dream for me to be doing! 25 years after I sang the role of Rosina in Jonathan Miller’s production of Rossini’s ‘The Barber of Seville’ I am back, but this time in the wonderful role of Berta, the Maid. I can’t believe that I shall be stepping on my beloved Coliseum stage once more and in front of the glorious ENO audience. The opera, and this production, is an absolute hoot so I hope that many of you will be able to come and see it. Opening night is Monday, 12th February then there are six more shows before it closes on Thursday, 29th February. Details here: The Barber of Seville | Buy Opera Tickets for 2023/24 | ENO
