Hello my friends, and welcome to our Spring 2023 Newsletter!!
As always I’m thrilled to be sharing more updates with you, and a lot has been announced in the past couple of months. Firstly, I’m grateful for all the honors and awards that I’ve been privileged to receive this year.
While I’m not after trophies and accolades, it is of course with humble gratitude that I pledge my continued devotion to this work, and to always strive for excellence in all I do. It means so much to me that people appreciate and are inspired by this wonderful art form, one that I’m privileged to practice every day.
So, thank you!
My Spring season is in bloom with two marvelous roles: Lucia di Lammermoor at Teatro alla Scala, which is a new production that was postponed from 2020, and Fiorilla in Il Turco in Italia at the Teatro Real.
I’m always happy to sing bel canto, and in such fabulous theatres as these, it’s a great joy! Lucia I’ve sung many times, but to sing it at La Scala is an absolute highlight of my life and career, for which I feel very honored.
As for Fiorilla, it’s a role I sang early on in my career and after 12 years she’s back! I so enjoy singing comedic roles! It’s nice to have a change of pace from the more tragic operas I’ve been doing lately.
Both Amalia in I masnadieri in Munich and Ophélie in Hamlet in Paris were wonderfully successful runs, and it was also exciting to be part of the Mozart Requiem performance in Salzburg. What a treat.
Thank you to all who have been watching these and sending messages.
We hope to see you in Milan and Madrid!
→ REFLECTIONS
Watching the video footage from our Vlog that accompanies this Newsletter, I was overwhelmed with how many beautiful things we saw these past few months. I’m so incredibly grateful that we have been able to travel and see some stunning places, experience the grandeur of nature, and the beauty of the intimate quiet of the wintertime.
With every new season there are surprises and more beauties to behold, and I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity to experience these things, on and off stage, with my wonderful husband who’s always there supporting me and working together with me. We are lucky and beyond thankful that we can lead this incredible life, and that the road ahead is one that we march on together.
This work can be very demanding and difficult, but the rewards really are endless, if you open your heart to receive them. And every time I look around, I see gifts and blessings.
For each and every one of those, this Easter season reminds me to be grateful.
