London - Paris - Bath - New York City

Phew - what a week - Monday I was off to Paris for meetings with Maestro Lorin Maazel about the Castleton Festival 2011




On Thursday - off to New York for various meetings & plenty of work with Nick Vaughan, designer, on our new productions for next year...










And, in between, a joyous occasion in Bath - the marriage, at Bath Guildhall,
of my friends Natasha Pryce and William Harris... & a perfect wedding reception at Essington Court in the village of Midford nearby...







Natasha is a brilliant young director & was my assistant when I directed La Fille du Regiment at Opera Holland Park in 2008...

William Harris is the inspired and inspiring leader of the theatre courses at Middlesex University...

And, at the wedding, it was great to meet the Best Man - a man I'd previously known by name only - his name is Torquil MacLeod and he's the producer of Radio 4's excellent Saturday Review.....
