Hello my friends, and welcome to our Summer 2023 Newsletter!!
This summer I am getting the full sun treatment with beautiful engagements in Savonlinna, Finland, the Arena di Verona in Italy, Aix-en-Provence in the south of France, Águilas, Spain, a masterclass/recital in East Hampton, NY, and Tokyo, Japan.
The most exciting thing for me this summer is the 2 role debuts that I’m making, in the French language repertoire that I love so much! Gounod’s Juliette and Donizetti’s Lucie. I’ve dreamed of singing Juliette for a long time and it’s finally happening, and I couldn’t be happier!
My pianist, Ruben Fernandez-Aguirre and I have planned a fabulous recital program of French/Spanish music that we are presenting in Savonlinna as well as in Águilas, so check the dates below!
Lucie de Lammermoor, the French iteration of Donizetti’s beloved masterpiece, I will be performing in a single concert performance at Aix, alongside amazing colleagues. In between these engagements I’m singing a couple performances of La traviata at the Arena di Verona.
Then I head to East Hampton, New York, for “Belcanto Bootcamp,” to teach a masterclass and sing a recital with their program’s wonderful resident artists. I’m so looking forward to learning from them!
Finally, September brings us back to Tokyo, Japan, with the Teatro dell’opera di Roma, to sing my dear Violetta in 3 performances of La traviata. I am so excited for that amazing trip!
Hope you have a great summer and see you somewhere in the world!
