behind the scenes

I’m so thrilled to have sung my very first #Principessa with @thevalkyrieensemble . This role debut holds so much meaning for me.

For some reason, most people don’t talk about the NORMAL and EXPECTED vocal changes that happen throughout

One more chance to see the show! Sunday, 3/9 at 1:30pm #suorangelica #principessa #puccini #opera #operasinger #operasingersofinstagram #valkyrie @thevalkyrieensemble

Today is the day!!! Come see us at 2pm at Rosehill Cemetery in the Chapel. #suorangelica #puccini #opera #operasinger #operasingersofinstagram #valkyrie @thevalkyrieensemble

She is #drama . She is #disgust . She is #cruel . She is #fierce . She is #terrifying . She is La Zia #Principessa . If you’ve never seen me look like any of these things, come see Suor Angelica this weekend and watch me be a heartless mega bit
