  3. A virginal Salome!

    It does contain a few scribbles in the list of roles from 1913, but the rest of the pages are completely free of annotations!
    I tried desperately to find a score without the clutter of the English version in it. There are also small additional notes for the differing rhythms. That’s very confusing to work with!

    I went back and forth on whether I should write into it, and decided not to. I’m having a copy made to work with instead!

  5. Gettin’ ready for my trip to Detmold!
    The Darmstadt Theater is on summer break, and I kept my vacation time free of concert or festival gigs to prepare for my roles for the upcoming season. And since I only need a piano and my scores for that, I can visit friends and still learn my roles!
    My friend Johanna Nylund, lead soprano in Detmold, is letting me use her digital piano, and it’s already set up at my friend Jo’s house!
    The suitcase is very heavy with music though.

  13. Look! Throwback to 2013, at the La Sonnambula premiere at Staatstheater Darmstadt, conducted by Elias Grandy, with my dear friend Julie Davies staring as Amina in a gorgeous John Dew production!

    This photo (taken by my boyfriend, now my husband) might be the first photo of me at the Staatstheater Darmstadt!

  15. Please share my friend Aldo Alan’s gofundme:

    gofund.me/a37d91284

    In short: Aldo is a tenor born in Mexico, who lived, studied and recently graduated in the U.S. He had to return to Mexico because no one in the U.S. is hiring Mexicans right now. Aldo has a real chance in Germany, and he has all the necessary documents ready, but Germany requires that a large sum of money be set aside in order to apply for the visa.

    Help his singing dreams come true!

  17. Next year at the end of January we are going to present our production of Salome at the Staatstheater Darmstadt. Kerem Hillel, who staged Felix Weingartner’s Kain und Abel in Darmstadt with me in the role of Ada just a few months ago, will be the director of my Salome! Both Noa and Kerem hail from Israel, and I am super curious to see both their different takes on this opera by the very German Richard Strauss!

  19. Such a devastating loss for the opera world.
    Rest in Peace, Limmie Pulliam.
    May your memory be a blessing.

    “Raised in Kennett, Missouri, Pulliam, the son of a preacher, grew up singing in his church choir before his passion for classical music took shape. At Oberlin, he was a student of the legendary voice professor Richard Miller, who played a vital role in developing Pulliam’s remarkably powerful sound.”

    Because there where only two more performances of L’incoronazione di Poppea, with only a couple of tickets left for the next one on May 23rd, and about 50 remaining for the final performance on June 12th, we added another performance on June 11th!

    📣 Spread the word!

    Update: May 23 is currently sold out again.

    4th and final KAIN UND ABEL, Sunday at 6!

    … and on Saturday is the premiere of L’incoronazione di Poppea—that’s stressful, yes, but: Sunday is Theatertag, which means tickets for Kain und Abel are only 9€!
    It’s our gift to the audience, as there won’t be another chance to hear this opera until the cpo CD is released! (We don't yet know the release date.)
