Exploring Mozart’s technical demands is difficult but very rewarding, and finding emotional reasons for those difficult passages is liberating and downright fun!

In this masterclass, from May 9th, 2020, I share a little bit about bringing consciousness to the breath as a singer.

A word about vocal technique: Technique is not having 1 way to do 100 things, it’s having 100 days to do 1 thing.

Today I am sharing a clip with a small piece of advice about how to overcome the negative motivator that is fear.

Never lose your sensitive core—it's the heart of your artistry and what makes your performance truly sincere. The opera world can be tough and full of challenges, but protect that gentle place inside you even as you build strength on the outside. That balance is everything.

I am so privileged to have been able to spend a beautiful morning at one of my beloved Alma Maters in Baton Rouge.

Tonight is my last performance of La traviata at the Metropolitan Opera! The Metropolitan Opera Toi toi toi to everyone tonight!
