VALIS at the MIT Media Lab has been a total blast! Tod Machover’s music is some of the most compelling and soulful I’ve ever had the privilege of singing and hearing, and the whole team is a DREAM to work with!

I had a great time making my On Site Opera debut last week singing excerpts from The Magic Flute. I got to sing some First Lady and of course, Queen!
Thanks to my friend Sarah for getting this video and pics :)
