Back in undergrad a teacher said to me “if singing is the only thing you can do, sing.” Struck me wrong then and still does. We’re talking professional singing here. “If you have to sing, sing. If you don’t have to sing, do something else.” This, I have found to be true.

Don’t miss ArtSmart mentor @operviva in collaboration with @SFOpera ⬇️ – at Philadelphia, PA
Love in opera knows no bounds. No authority. No end. But for centuries, LGBTQ+ love on stage had to be disguised in innuendo and subtext, for artists' safety. In Sunday's Opera Aficionado event, Albert Montañez discusses how opera today defies tradition: sfopera.com/discover-opera/e…
