ON REPERTOIRE
I’d love to sing some of these old familiar friends, as I’ve noticed that I thrive in repeated repertoire. I worked hard to reregister my voice to sing light dramatic soprano repertoire, which basically means I can sing the big girl full soprano rep now with ease and also older lower stuff that still feels good with registration that feels way easier than it ever has been.
I also LOVE being the pioneer that I am and help birthing new works that align with me. If you’re considering my voice as part of your project, please just reach out. I’d love to converse with you on it.
Here are some standard pieces that feel amazing in my voice:
Berg- Sieben frühe Lieder
Barber's Vanessa
Händel- Armida (Rinaldo),
- the Messiah* (my favorite!)
Mozart - Cherubino, Vitellia, Donna Elvira, Annio
Composer AND Ariadne from Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos
Hänsel or the Witch from Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel
Venus from Wagner's Tannhäuser (I would also love to be double cast as Elisabeth!)
Other standard repertoire I love singing:
Berlioz Les nuits d'eté,
Bizet CARMEN
Du Yun Angel’s Bone
Respigghi's Il Tramonto
Purcell's Dido and Aeneas
Mazzoli - Song from the Uproar (written for me! love this piece!)
Mozart concert aria “Ch'io mi scordi di te”
Schoenberg Book of Hanging Gardens
Wagner Wesendonck Lieder
Other repertoire I would like to explore:
Händel: Rodelinda, Theodora* (I love singing in English AND Baroque!)
Glück Iphigenie
Mahler- anything!!!! I’d love to sing the 3rd Symphony again
David Hertzberg!
I’m in for new repertoire and new productions of old repertoire that are deeply questioning the nature of reality, meaning, and what it means to be alive
