Hello my friends, and welcome to my Summer 2024 Newsletter!  I’m happy to be sharing this newsletter mid-summer, when it has been a wonderful couple of months for me.

After a wonderful concert tour around Europe during the spring, I had a beautiful round of concerts with the Met Opera Orchestra at Carnegie Hall and subsequently around Asia.  We all bonded and it was something very special for me to visit Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.  

*Right now I’m in Napoli preparing for La traviata at the Teatro San Carlo, for a run of 6 performances, but am ill and am sorry that I won’t be able to sing them all, I’m afraid.  Please stay tuned for announcements about my performance dates!*

This August I have some beautiful concerts coming up!  I’ll be debuting in the beautiful Cap Rocat Festival in a concert with the Symphony Orchestra of the Balearic Islands, led by Pablo Mielgo.  The program is on August 4th at 21:30 and will feature some rarely heard belcanto arias from me, as well as a sneak peak at Maria Stuarda!  And then August 16th and 19th,

I’m excited to sing 2 performances of Ophélie in a concert presentation of Thomas’ Hamlet at the Felsenreitschule in Salzburg. Our wonderful conductor is Bertrand de Billy, and our cast features Stéphane Degout, Eve-Maud Hubeaux, and Jean Teitgen.  Following that will be my return to Violetta in Vienna, in a revival of the Simon Stone production alongside Juan Diego Flórez and Ludovic Tézier, led by Domingo Hindoyan.  

Then, a very much anticipated (at least by me!) operatic debut at the Palau Les Arts in Valencia as Massenet’s Manon.  This is one of my favorite roles and I’m excited to share the stage with Charles Castronovo as Des Grieux.  Conducting our 5 performances is the wonderful James Gaffigan. 

I can’t wait to share more about this in the fall!
