I also get to sing Ottavia & Drusilla (& Virtù) in L’incoronazione di Poppea, which will be my first time singing pre-Baroque music. Letters to Fred will be performed twice for Holocaust Remembrance day at Landestheater Detmold and Theater Hagen, I’m thrilled to be working with these theaters!
I hope that Letters to Fred will continue each year. Thanks to Jo Herzberg for trusting me with her dad’s letters.

I’m also really excited about the other productions this season: Felix Weingartner’s Kain und Abel is a brilliant expressionistic one act opera, and an exceedingly rare opportunity. I’m also singing Donna Anna, which is my most performed role, and I am happy to return to the role of the Witch in Hänsel und Gretel – I first sang this role 20 years ago, and I can't wait to have fun with it again!

As usual I am always a bit late to the announcement game, but I figured I should announce before my first Premiere of the season this Saturday. I am so lucky to be a part of Noa Naamat’s amazing and epic production of Aida — this has been cathartic for me. I am thankful to be singing my favorite composer and to get to tell Aida’s story again.

@meganmariehart That's great news!

However, there is an error in your calculation of the seats for the performance in December, which is completely beyond your control. There are two fewer seats than shown.

My wife and I are delighted to be coming to Darmstadt on December 13 to hear and see you as Aida.
