I am THRILLED to be stepping back into Carmen’s shoes with Valley Opera & Performing Arts, VOPA! Every time I sing this role I find something new, something deeper — and I cannot WAIT to share it with you.
Come experience it live with me at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood on June 13 & 21. Or see the absolutely stunning Jessica Mamey June 14 & 20. Trust me, this one is going to hit different. ππ₯ππ½

Growing a human, rehearsing Carmen, and squeezing in a little Rossini along the way. πΆ This is the Agnus Dei from the Petite Messe Solennelle with the incredible voices of the UCSB, Ventura College, and Moorpark College Choirs (many of whom I also call my amazing students) AND Orchestra. Leave it to @b1wils1 to bring all of us together. Some moments just deserve to be documented. π€ #operasinger #mezzosoprano #chestvoice #rossini #opera

Come to the big revival! π Cannot wait to open Elmer Gantry with @operasantabarbara this weekend. Come join us!

Passed my lecture recital and officially heading into the final stage of my degree π€ #mezzosoprano #operasinger #dma #ucsb

Year two of Messiah in Charleston with @charlestonsymphonyorchestra β¨
So grateful to be back in this beautiful city making music that fills the soul. Even more grateful to share it with such incredible artists — @awpotter @catherine.psarakis @bgiebler @ryo.h_conductor.
There’s nothing like bringing this masterpiece to life together in the Holy City. ππΆ

When I say this was one of the most fun operas I have ever done! The cast…stunning. The director @marcmakesopera…fabulous. The conductor Josh Horsch…transcendent. The company @operalasvegas…fantastic. Already can’t wait for the next one!

Cherubino, ever the over-dramatic romantic, caught Preziosilla on repeat this morning and suddenly decided he’s definitely ready to join the army. π«‘π
He has no idea what battle is coming, but the uniform sounds very flattering and the ladies love a man in uniform.
πΆ “I’ll march bravely into danger… as long as someone notices me doing it.”

β¨ Singing “Mira, o Norma” with the radiant @darlingdivajmc and the incredible Verdi Chorus was such a powerful experience. Bellini’s music brings out every ounce of emotion, and sharing this moment together was pure magic.
βΆοΈ You can see the full clip now on YouTube—link in bio!

ππ»Let’s add Preziosilla to the list of dream roles. Anyone doing Forza anytime soon? #operalife #mezzosoprano #operasinger #mezzo #singing

π§ Tears become music, and sorrow becomes song. Singing Massenet’s “Va, laisse couler mes larmes” — a prayer whispered through melody. πΆβ¨

Graduating NEXT WEEK! I had the chance to share a few thoughts in this year’s commencement video interview — feeling so grateful for the mentors, students, and colleagues who have shaped this journey.
It’s been a wild, beautiful ride. Can’t wait to celebrate and step into what’s next! π«πΆ

When she left, she was like a cloud in the morning, scattered andβ
nowhere to be found.πΈβ
