One thing I love about performing is the chance to share what I love with the people around me—and to do a full 180 while doing it. In this year’s Ryan Opera Center Scenes Workshop @lyricopera, I got to sing something grounded and intimate as me (which we so rarely get to do in staged performances)... and then turn around and cause chaos as a delightfully unhinged Despina. Who says a mezzo can’t do both? 😌✨ Director: @keturahstickann @pupxtte Conductor: Donald Palumbo Orchestra: @michaelbanwarthpiano 🎹 Costumes: Lyric Opera of Chicago Costume Shop 📸: Andrew Cioffi / Lyric Opera of Chicago #OperaSinger #MezzoSoprano #OperaLife #ScenesWorkshop #RyanOperaCenter #LyricOperaOfChicago #YoungArtistProgram #mozart #OperaScenes #BehindTheScenes #OnStage #PerformanceArt #ArtistLife #WomenInMusic #MusicianLife #ExplorePage #PhotoOfTheDay #Operagram #OperaInChicago #Vocalist #ActingOnStage #CreativeProcess #InstaGood #LivePerformance #SingersOfInstagram
