5 Questions with

1. In 2004/05 you made your acclaimed debut with The Metropolitan
Opera in the role of Aida, and were called one of the most promising “Verdi sopranos.” How important is this role to you and do you feel like it has become a part of you, having performed it several times? The role has become very important to me because it is the one that catapulted my career and the role I have performed the most often. Since my Met debut, I have been able to become “one with the character” and make the character more a part of me. I feel like I can roll out of bed and sing her. She’s become so much a part of me that I am able to have fun with her and not worry so much about the vocal, emotional and acting pitfalls.
