No Matter What You Do, If There's Something You're Afraid Of, You Need To Break Through It.

True Expression Is Hard When Performing Opera. The Problem Is That Opera Relies On The Dramatic Context Of The Piece. It Can Be Interpreted And Represented, But There Are Guidelines; There Is A Vocabulary Within The Pieces That You Must Know Objectively And Reflect.

I Like To Remind Myself That Everything Is Meaningless.

A Lot Of Times I Have The Song Inside Of Me And I Have To Fight To Get It Out. I'm A Very Visual Person, So I Can See The Song But I Can't Hear It.

The Word "theatrical" Makes Me Cringe, Because It Suggests A Performance Is Staged, Put On, Rehearsed. And While All This Is True For An Opera, I Believe The Act Of Singing And Performing Should Always Be Honest, Raw, Guttural.
