Thank you, Aspen Music Festival, for a joyous time last week! I loved working with the students as part of Renée Fleming's AOTVA program, and I'm jealous that they get to make music in the most stunning paradise for two months! The only thing I don't envy is singing at altitude for that long 😮‍💨🏔️

100 years ago yesterday, Alban Berg's 'Wozzeck' had its premiere in Berlin. The title role of 'Wozzeck' came as a late debut role for me, but the time needed to learn a score that complicated and rich was warranted. I had the great honor of singing this role at the Met in 2014.
