💗SF Classical Voice Interview: sfcv.org/articles/artis…

Some soprano roles have me spending time in the lower register! When that happens, as was the case with Fausta in Massenet’s “Roma” in Paris, I make sure to include this exercise in my warm-up…and frankly, I love warming up my low voice no matter the tessitura! 💕

A few more photos from my recital a few days ago at the Staatsoper Berlin with Tamar Sanikidze and @JeffBealMusic.

This program later this month in Stanford, on Nov. 18th, but before Strauss’ Four Last Songs with @TorontoSymphony, on November 12th & 14th! 💕

I love adding a trill to create vibrancy and reactivate my breath.

Let me know if it works for you!

Thank you for sharing some of my favorite lieder with me Sunday night at the Staatsoper Berlin!

Thank you to my wonderful pianist Tamar Sanikidze for her exquisite artistry!

And thank you to @JeffBealMusic for composing the new song cycle “Our Better Selves” for me!
