Next year at the end of January we are going to present our production of Salome at the Staatstheater Darmstadt. Kerem Hillel, who staged Felix Weingartner’s Kain und Abel in Darmstadt with me in the role of Ada just a few months ago, will be the director of my Salome! Both Noa and Kerem hail from Israel, and I am super curious to see both their different takes on this opera by the very German Richard Strauss!

2/4

Such a devastating loss for the opera world.
Rest in Peace, Limmie Pulliam.
May your memory be a blessing.

“Raised in Kennett, Missouri, Pulliam, the son of a preacher, grew up singing in his church choir before his passion for classical music took shape. At Oberlin, he was a student of the legendary voice professor Richard Miller, who played a vital role in developing Pulliam’s remarkably powerful sound.”
