Prakseda Marcelina Kochańska, known professionally as Marcella Sembrich, was a Polish dramatic coloratura soprano. She is known for her extensive range of two and a half octaves, precise intonation, charm, portamento, vocal fluidity, and impressive coloratura. Her voice was regarded as flute-like, sweet, pure, light, and brilliant. She had an important international singing career, chiefly at the New York Metropolitan Opera and the Royal Opera House, in London. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcella_Sembrich

Confession video from the other night when I spilled my mints on stage …

coming from the monitor speakers are tenor Matthew Vickers, mezzo-soprano Irina Ignata, and the Staatsorchester Darmstadt conducted by Johannes Zahn!

(Reportedly, the audience did not notice anything, and my snacks did not cause any issues on stage.)

Sold out again! That’s five sold out Aida performances out of the six we’ve done so far, and the one that wasn’t completely sold out only had a handfull of seats left.
Noa Naamat’s staging of Aida is extraordinarily successful, and I am grateful to be a part of it!
