I’m going to be spending six weeks this summer with the Franco-America Vocal Academy in southern France working on French vocal music. I will play Orphée in the mezzo version of Offenbach’s Orphée aux Enfers, perform solos in concerts of sacred music by Gounod and Saint-Saëns, and prepare songs of contemporary composer Isabelle Aboulker under her tutelage. I will also get to take lessons in singing, movement, and French. And did I mention spend six weeks in the south of France in the summer?
Specific performance dates TBA.

Laura and Jonah, a childless couple, deal with the arrival and care of a foreign-exchange student. After the student’s death, the two form separate and competing narratives about who the student was and what their interactions with her meant. These divergent stories challenge the couple’s marriage and, ultimately, their sense of reality. I play Alice, one of Laura and Jonah’s neighbors (read: foil).
