[Back to NYC]
Last week I traveled to NYC for the first time in 18 months for rehearsals for the opera Everything For Dawn with Experiments In Opera. It was SO GREAT to be back in the city working on a world premiere :) I’ll be back in town throughout the fall for the Sitzprobe, audio recording and filming for this project. Stay tuned for information on the release of the film.

Free time update: This summer I started volunteering at the Merrimack Valley Cottontail Clinic. My duties include syringe feeding rabbit kits and giving snuggle therapy to buns in need of a cuddle. Rick Snyder and his team do an amazing job rescuing and rehabilitating eastern cottontail rabbits that have been orphaned or injured. If you’d like to donate, please visit their website HERE.
[BLO Principal Artist Debut]
My first post-pandemic in-person project was my principal artist debut with Boston Lyric Opera! I got to spend four days recording Ana Sokolovic’s opera Svadba with 6 other women including conductor Daniela Candilari. The operatic soundtrack will be set to a filmed dance performance and is set for release in February 2022.
[LOTNY Shepherd King]
While our live performance of The Shepherd King with Little Opera Theatre New York was postponed, we did release a video of Amina and Elisa’s opening duet, “Go Now to Rule your Kingdom…” with mezzo soprano Catherine Spitzer.
[Lubee Bat Conservancy Auction]
I have donated one of my paintings to the Lubee Bat Conservancy in Gainsville, FL. They do amazing work rehabilitating various species of bats and educating people about these awesome critters!
