Alumni update with @emmapsings
MMUS 2021
Recent roles include Najade with Pacific Northwest Opera, Mabel with Seattle Opera, Johanna with Opera Idaho, Musetta with Bellevue Opera and Nannetta with Portland Opera. I’m about to sing Gretel with Vashon Opera and sing the soprano solo in the Brahms Requiem with Bach on the Rock on Salt Spring Island! Later this summer I will sing Pamina with the Savannah Voice Festival. I live in Seattle now where I teach private voice students and also I am a certified Music Together teacher. I love the ocean, yoga, and travel!
Spring is here, and hopefully to stay ☀️🌷
I’m having a wonderful time with the start of rehearsals at @pacificnorthwestopera in their Ariadne Auf Naxos production. Come see us April 25, May 1 & 3.

A little bit of Violetta for your #singingsunday ❤️ from @seattleopera ‘s season preview last October where I sang for the wonderful @seattleoperaguild 💕 I love singing in this beautiful recital hall!
Rehearsals for Pirates of Penzance with @seattleopera tour begin in less than two weeks! I’m so thrilled to be playing such a joyful and lively character with this wonderful company. Here’s me playing around with Mabel’s aria after a rehearsal a few weeks back! Poor Wandering One 😏😘😍 My first G&S principal role! Thankful always #opera #singer #classical #gilbertandsullivan
2025 WRAPPED
4 operas (all debuts!), 8 cities, 5 concerts and recitals, tons of teaching, loads of auditioning! A good amount of “no”, but a lot of “YES!” There’s a lot to be so grateful and thrilled for. I love the life of an artist and that I can use my voice to connect with audiences and tell stories and uplift our world. I am so extremely grateful for the support of my mentors, family, and friends, and for all of those who believe in me. I hope every year to grow and learn, and I have a feeling 2026 will be just that. Happy New Year 🎉🥳
Some photos, mostly food, of my most recent audition trip. Sorry NYC, Miami takes the prize for most photogenic city and best food this time around 😍❤️🎄
Some stunning photos of my role debut of Johanna 🦜 with @operaidaho . This production meant so much to me and I was so happy to be a part of this amazing and uplifting cast. Sweeney Todd will always hold such a special place in my heart and I hope I get to bring this courageous, bright, and endearing character to life again 💛💐🌼🌟

I have the best seat in the house, the best colleagues, and an emotional support cleaver! What more could a girl ask for? We had a great tech rehearsal for Sweeney Todd tonight. Mrs. Lovett is quickly becoming one of my favorite roles! Can’t wait for first dress rehearsal tomorrow night. 🥧🔪🖤
