This aria from Tosca was recorded with my pianist Kristof Van Grysperre, who also conducted me in the full role. This aria is known for having a big high C at the end, which emphasizes the drama of the role.

This aria is sung by the character Sieglinde (Die Walküre) and this excerpt demonstrates some of her more "heroic" singing in the opera.

LIVE PERFORMANCES
This aria is from a role that was written for me by composer Kirsten Volness www.kirstenvolness.com/index.html. It's an amazing score of music set to letters from Women of The Great War. This letter is from Lida Gustava Heyman 1868-1943 who worked with the women's suffrage and protested the war.

This was a role debut for me, after having sung Valencienne twice. And it was my first time in Hong Kong! it was an amzingly beautiful production with professional dancers and scenic designers. The company took very good care of us visitors, as we were there in Dec 2019 during the protests.

Micaëla is one my favorite roles to portray, as she is young and naive, but strong and the voice of reason amongst all the drama between her former partner Don José and his new love interest/obsession Carmen. Here I am wearing the costume from Heartbeat Opera's modern day production, which we got to promote and perform excerpts from on live radio with WQXR in NYC.

This is one of my favorite arias from one of my favorite operas. Mimì has to make the difficult decision to officially leave her lover Rodolfo as she realizes how ill she is and how much it is breaking his heart. The ultimate break up aria!
