Hello my friends, and welcome to our Fall 2022 Newsletter!

Once again, I’m delighted to be sharing with you the exciting projects that are on the horizon for the start of this season. This past summer I was lucky to debut Elvira in I PURITANI and that was a big success in Napoli.

Now I’m gearing up for another exciting role debut, but this time, it’s not bel canto! Instead I’m preparing to perform my 5th Handel title: ALCINA at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. We open November the 8th in London. After that, I head to New York City to return to the Metropolitan Opera in their new production of RIGOLETTO. Gilda is one of my absolute favorite roles, and it’s always a pleasure to reprise it, and an honor to be back at the Met. We open December 8th.

On the recording front, there’s a lot to be excited about as well! Last year, I sang the title role of Handel’s THEODORA in concert with Il Pomo D’oro, and after a series of live concerts, we made a beautiful recording that is now available on Warner Classics-Erato, and online everywhere! I’m so grateful also for the incredibly positive response to my French Bel Canto album, which just came out as well, on Pentatone.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a copy and is enjoying it! It was a project that I had been dreaming about for years and I’m so glad that we could make that dream a reality.

→ REFLECTIONS

Fall always brings me back to reality, it seems.  This year the summer felt like it started really early and lasted longer than usual to me, with such warm weather going as far back as May!  I am always happy to have the return of the crisp temperatures and bright colors.  

I’m also really excited to return to the Met this December.  My last performance there was just before the pandemic forced every theatre to shut down, back in March of 2020.  I haven't sung in the States since then.  I’m so grateful for having gotten through these past 2 and a half years safely and in good health.  

This period has made me realize how much I took small things for granted.  Now that we are treading back towards normal circumstances, I have a newfound appreciation for things like gatherings with friends, going out to restaurants, and of course, theatres...a gratitude that I never felt so strongly before.  

This work means the world to me, and I am blessed to be able to continue to make music and perform every day.
