Mining for Mime: a directing tenor’s exploration of Wagner Ring, Bayreuth’s Bierhallen and tales about why you should always wear sneakers to the opera
Robert Macfarlane was the 2020 winner of the RWS Young Artist Award. Due to COVID lockdowns, he was finally able to claim his prize to attend the Bayreuth Festival this year. In the meantime, Robert had furthered his skills as an opera director and is preparing for his role debut as Mime in the Melbourne Opera’s Ring Cycle whilst juggling a job in a hospital.
Join us as Robert entertains us with tales from Bayreuth, from the rehearsal room, and with some tunes thrown in for good measure.
