What’s Your Vocal “14er”? “Tanti affetti” from Gioachino Rossini’s La Donna del Lago was my 14er. I’d like to conquer the role of Didón in Hector Berlioz’s Les Troyens, but just for my own benefit!
Favorite Shower-Singing Song? This is weird, but Philip Glass’ “Liquid Days” (with lyrics by David Byrne).
Joined Ars Nova: 1998 (originally! Then, an absence…)
Round of Applause for: Husband Paul, Kids Ted, Sam, and Mae, Dog Sweet Pea, and Cat Felix
