It was such an honor to sing for Sharon Sweet in a master class on Monday night presented by Martina Arroyo’s Prelude to Performance program. Here I am afterwards pictured with the two of them. I’m so thankful for all this program has given me. #legends

One hundred years ago today, the great Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson was born. She is my all-time favorite opera singer, so I decided to end my two-year hiatus of blogging by writing a tribute to her. Happy Birthday, Birgit! msoperageek.wordpress.com/2018/05/17/hap…

I keep trying to type ‘Così fan tutte’ and thanks to autocorrect it keeps resulting in ‘Così fan turtle’. #AllTurtlesAreLikeThat 🐢

The line in Parsifal that really stuck with me this time was in act 3, when Gurnemanz says, "Away with your weapons, for our Lord had none."


It was such an honor and a privilege to sing for dramatic soprano Susan Neves in the amazing voice master class she led yesterday at MSM! Go see her sing the Overseer in ‘Elektra’ at the Met in performances from March 1 through 23. She is an incredible artist!
