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.

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 Started Performing Opera When I Was 10 Years Old. I Didn't Perform As Zola Jesus Until I Was Probably 18.
