Here I am as Elizabeth in Griffin Candey's opera Sweets by Kate. Also pictured: soprano, Kathryn Frady. This is the professional premiere of the work, produced by Marble City Opera and, yes, we were performing behind the bar of an actual working restaurant.

This photo was taken after the performance of A Death in the Family, William Mayer's opera on the novel of the same name, at the Szeged National Theatre in Szeged, Hungary.

I loved being a part of this cast, and I love what our amazing director, Robert Alfoldi, did with this production. It remains one of the most beautiful, moving, and meaningful professional experiences I've had.

I'm thinking about gratitude today. So I'm grateful for the people who got me into this production: Jim Schaeffer, Center for Contemporary Opera, Heidi Lauren Duke. I'm also grateful to the amazing friends I made, who continue to be some of my nearest and dearest.
