A Season of Hope

This summer I’m diving into a sea of new repertoire!  I have been hard at work preparing 3 new roles, as well as a myriad of Zarzuela arias, opera arias, and recital programs.  
First up, July 16th, I’m opening the Napa Valley Festival in a recital of arias and art songs, with Spanish and French flair!  In collaboration with pianist Curt Pajer, I’m particularly excited to visit this amazing region, because wine is a great love of mine!

I am especially delighted to bring two bel canto concerts with orchestra to southern Italy this August 2nd and 6th.  The first concert is directed by Corrado Rovaris and is a mix of bel canto, French, and Zarzuela arias.  The second is an all-Bellini program, featuring arias from I Puritani, La sonnambula, La straniera, and more!

Speaking of Bellini, it is a dream come true to debut as Elvira in I PURITANI, in concert in Gstaad on August 28th.  

On September 13th, the Royal Opera House-Covent Garden will open its doors for the 2021-22 season with a new production of RIGOLETTO!  I cannot wait to sing Gilda, one of my favorite roles, in a production by Oliver Mears, opposite Carlos Alvarez, and conducted by the wonderful Maestro Antonio Pappano!
