"Poised to become the world's reigning Salome, with any company lucky enough to get her"
Welcome
It’s now been close to six years since my career exploded and threw me into this amazing and tumultuous life of an opera singer. What it means to me is hard to explain – it’s such a blessing, and so much fun! I still have to pinch myself sometimes to realize that this is what I get to do every day… I am very aware of how unusual it is to get to live your dreams. And since I had a rather long road of “normal” life leading up to it, it is with a deep sense of gratitude and humility that I go through my days. At the same time, I am also learning what it takes to foster a deep sense of self as well as autonomy of thought and emotion; and like so many others, I am trying to find ways to contribute – even if some days all I can seem to muster is a song…:-)
In any case, I am delighted to share my website with you! I hope you will find the information you are looking for – and maybe even some you didn’t know you were looking for.
I have obviously included all the basics – but I also feel compelled sometimes to share things that are of importance to me, whether it be in terms of what got me here, or what challenges me, or the things or people for which I am most grateful. Maybe not the average fare for a professional website, but nonetheless, part and parcel of what I do, and why. I try to keep my thoughts up to date on the “Flip Side”.
It has always been my aim to express through music the truth about things – about states of mind, be it emotional or intellectual, simple or complex. Each time I perform I have one wish, and that is to connect each person in the audience with something truthful – whatever that may be for them. So, it boils down to life, really. And, that necessitates being generous with all of it, not just what’s in the score.
I hope that the future will give me the opportunity to share not just information and thoughts with you, but great music as well!
