Wagner Gala in Wellington
Christine Goerke (Brunhilde) and Simon O'Neill (Siegfried) sang their hearts out at the Wagner Gala in Wellington on Friday. They were both stunning, as was the NZSO conducted by Pietari Inkinen, as they transported us through selections from Siegfried and Gotterdammerung.

Siegmund takes over
I thought my visit to Wellington to sketch opera singers might result in several small oils on canvas but instead, when I got home, Siegmund (alias Simon ONeill) leaped onto the large (about a meter high) canvas I had on my easel.
I have been working on him over the last weeks, in between saving things from the gales. It is interesting how paintings have their own life. The artist is just there as a servant really.
