Nina Kopparhed

This photo lists two recitals given by Nina Kopparhed, soprano and Jelena Makarova, piano on,December 12th and January 15th: the text appears on a gold background with shiny, golden sequins falling and gathering at the bottom. There is also a photo of Nina and Jelena at the bottom left of the post, mid performance: Nina is singing and is wearing a red dress with a black belt and gold ballerina flats, jelena is playing a beautiful, shiny grand piano, and wearing a black dress.

Hello everyone, here are my upcoming recitals with Jelena Makarova, piano: Dec 12th, St Saviours, Pimlico and Jan 15th at the Swedish Church (Ulrika Eleonora church). Hope that you're all having a lovely start to December and it'd be fantastic to see you at one of the recitals if you are free.

I was walking back to Westminster station after tonight's rehearsal and was absolutely stunned by how beautifully the streetlights reflected off the wet pavement. No filter or AI enhancement needed, just my phone.

Hello everyone, here are my upcoming recitals: both featuring some of my favourite advent-related repertoire (and one also including some sibelius ❤️) it'd be lovely to see you there, if you happen to be in the area. Have a lovely weekend!

Hello everyone, I'm singing the Plaintiff and 1st Witch with these lovely people next weekend (25th and 26th). If you're looking for gorgeous music and drama and happen to be in the Putney area, it'd be lovely to see you! Here is the ticket link, just in case 😊 www.ticketsource.co.uk/porcupine-pr...

#recital #whatsoninlondon

I'm looking forward to performing in the HSMF again on Sep 4 with Neil Crossland, piano. Our programme is built around Neil's song on the Wordsworth poem "To a Sky-Lark". Also incl: "Chants d'Auvergne"set 1 (incl.Baileró)& Andrew Wilson's "Stella's cycle".
It'd be lovely to see you on Sep 4! 🎶

It's official Proposals to pedestrianise Oxford Street will move ahead

The results are in. The vast majority of Londoners and major businesses back our exciting plans for Oxford Street, so I'm pleased to confirm that we will now be moving ahead as quickly as possible.

Nina's new business cards: they are square, with two photos of Nina in different costumes: the one on the left shows Nina wearing the opera version of a maid's uniform; behind her is a dressing room screen with two beautiful dresses hanging over it on hangers, one dress is pink, the other deep red. The photo on the right shows Nina singing in a red dress with a black obi belt and black opera gloves, with a golden scarf thrown over her shoulder. In the background, there is a pillar lit up with a soft, yellow light. The cards are sitting on a swirly, wavy background of blues and aqua with gold flecks.

New cards (contact info redacted). I'm really happy with these, they're much more "me" thank you, #moocards!
They have a QR to my LinkTree at the back, and I've also set up a matching e-card on blinq.
Do you still use cards, or an e-card only/none at all? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

My next concert! I'm part of this all-female lineup of step out soloists (with Derek Carden as MD), presenting music for female voices by Pergolesi, Britten and Chilcott. If you're in the area, it'd be lovely to see you.

I agree: also, memberships at the same gym vastly differing in cost but not giving you benefits that work for you. I'm now on a pay as you go tariff at my local gym (perfect!), but I used to pay, at the same gym, £60 per month for unlimited access/use anywhere in the UK, which was overkill for me.

The view from the top floor of the Rosemullion Hotel, Cornwall: the photo shows a view from inside the room (decorated in calming colours), through the floor to ceiling windows, over the rooftops and straight to the sea. The skies are blue, just a bit of cloud, and the sea is calm. A gorgeous spring day

This popped up as a memory from a holiday in beautiful Cornwall 3 years ago today: it made me really nostalgic, as it was such a gorgeous 4 days away. 😍 Hope that you're all having a wonderful Easter break x

Sibelius: Flickan kom ifrån sin älsklings möte | Nina Kopparhed soprano, Jelena Makarova piano |Live YouTube video by Nina Kopparhed

Watching back this video brought back lovely memories of performing one of my favourite Swedish songs in September 2024 with Jelena Makarova, piano. This is Sibelius: flickan kom ifrån sin älsklings möte. youtu.be/VXmWgIQ2IUI?...

Does anyone know if there's an AI video editor that can automatically track movement (for instance a singer on stage in a production) and put the person in the centre of the frame at all times, so that the video can be used in portrait view? Any advice would be welcome, thanks so much in advance.

I'm very lucky to work with so many lovely people, huge thanks to you all! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and successful 2025 ❤️

Life after love: a devastating La rondine from Pappano and the LSO A concert performance of Puccini's take on operetta sees a superlative reading of the score from Sir Antonio Pappano, and a sensational Magda from Carolina López Moreno.

Wonderful review! I'm very much looking forward to seeing this tomorrow.

"What if I were young again"The Boatswain's Mate| Nina Kopparhed, soprano Neil Crossland piano |Live YouTube video by Nina Kopparhed

Hello everyone, I realised that I hadn't introduced myself as a singer yet: I'm passionate about bringing more music by #femalecomposers to the concert platform, as well as music by living composers. Here is me singing "what if I were young again" by Dame Ethel Smyth youtu.be/yp3Y_bbcAsE?...

Happy birthday to Jean Sibelius! This is a fantastic thread of listening recommendations: enjoy!

8 December is both the Birthday of my all-time favourite composer, Jean Sibelius, and Finnish Music Day. Over the coming ten days I will be posting my favourite recordings of Finnish music, including recommendations for every major Sibelius work. Please do join in! #NordicDiscoveries

Happy Birthday to Jean Sibelius. He captured the soul of Finland and the depths of human longing in his music. The thread below will never do justice to this magnificent musician, but if it encourages even one person to explore the music of Finland, it’s a win.

Burned wood and furniture lies strewn on the floor. The sides of the cathedral are dark and smoke damaged

The newly restored cathedral is bright with light everywhere. The gold, white and black flooring is shining, where the debris once lay.

Here are the before and after photos of Notre Dame.

The first photo was taken just after the fire. The second photo is from today, as the extraordinary transformation was revealed.

Bluesky music people, i have a sudden hankering to hear your worst ever holiday gig stories

Yes! This is my dream: floor to ceiling bookcases with books and music scores, and a rolling ladder; huge windows overlooking either woodland or a river/the sea. A roaring fire in the fireplace, a comfy armchair, a mug of hot chocolate...

Fantastic programme! Welcome to BlueSky!

So now since wordle we all do puzzles... Does anyone else to the NYT sudoku? I am too damn competitive to keep doing it in a void, please tell me your times?

Hahaha, the medium took me far too long, 26.03! I'll work up to more competitive times. thanks for the tip anyway.

Probably not a competitive time, but I just solved the easy one in 5min 43.
