Last week I was honored to perform the Center for Contemporary Opera's US Premiere of Dutch composer Louis Andriessen's double bill Odysseus' Women/ Anais Nin at National Sawdust in Brooklyn. Everyone on this project was mindblowingly talented and inspired. Shout outs to conductor Neal Goren, director Jorinde Keesmaat, dramaturg Koen Bollen, designer Ascon de Nijs, assistant director Lauren King, stage manager Suzi Bonnot, jack(ie) of all trades Katja Andreiev and the amazing cast of Augusta Caso, Nicole Mitchell, Hilary Ginter and Sharin Apostolou. This project has left me speechless because of how much it brought to my life. All I can really say is- guys LET'S DO IT AGAIN.
The cherry on top was getting a stellar New York Times review, and my first official photo in the New York Times. (I was caught in the background of a review photo in The Metropolitan Opera's Boris Godunov in 2010 but I consider this my first real photo.) #proudsoprano #yeanewmusic
