“Fafner and I go back. I first sang the role in
@lyricopera ’s Siegfried, directly after completing my time in the Ryan Opera Center in 2018. In the summer of 2020, I met Fafner again in
@deutscheoperberlin ’s open-air staging of Das Rheingold — socially distanced in a parking lot — one of the first live performances to happen during the height of the pandemic. To return to Das Rheingold this season, conducted by Kirill Petrenko at both the
@osterfestspielesalzburg and the
@berlinphil , is an especially exciting milestone.
Another highlight of this season is joining Dmitri Tcherniakov for The Maid of Orleans at
@nationaleoperaballet , where I will finally make my debut with the company.
It is bittersweet to say goodbye to ensemble life at Deutsche Oper Berlin, which has been my “home” since 2019. However, I am grateful to close this chapter by singing some of my favorites: Daland, the Grand Inquisitor, Basilio, Bottom, and Sarastro.”
