Last night was our 4th and final performance and all I can say is…. Four performances is hardly enough. I had such a wonderful time putting this piece together. I was so lucky to have such wonderful colleagues and friends around me for both my role and house debuts at the Rossini Opera Festival this summer.
I hope to be returning to this absolutely charming city sooner than later! The people, the food, the beach, the atmosphere… I’m in love.

We had a spectacular opening night here at Opera National de Paris. The public was absolutely wonderful and the show moved along just beautifully! Thank you Paris for such a wonderful reception… I am truly honored to be a part of this incredible show.
If you have the chance to come see this show I HIGHLY recommend it. The production is truly one of a kind! On the 25th of September the show will be aired live in cinemas here in Paris and online (audio only) at

Can't wait to get this show on stage!!!
I love this city and this company... have I mentioned

I can't wait to get the rehearsals started and see what this production is all about... I've heard nothing but wonderful things. Thank you Paris for always putting a smile on my face... first stop... the Marche d'Aligre to stock up on all of the wonderful fresh fruits and veggies
