The way we dress, our body language, our actions, the words we say…we are constantly telling our own story. But is it the story you want to tell about yourself? It is a beautiful thing that we can each tell our own stories. Make sure you are telling the one you want to tell!

“Great advice for Bad Singers” - a new sub series as part of my Wednesday Workshops! Being unprepared is a terrible feeling, and can damage your reputation and confidence. Do yourself a favour, and always strive to be over prepared for a gig!!💕

Recital at Staatsoper Berlin - November 1 I am so excited to debut this new song cycle by @JeffBealMusic in Berlin next month. I loved choosing the poems together for this four song cycle called “Our Better Sevles.” @trinakaylittle

Returning to the @rbo_org tonight for my final performance in this run of “Don Giovanni.” Mozart always teaches me something…and this run is no exception. I am grateful to have returned to this role at this theater that I love, and to have spent several weeks in beautiful London

I almost gave up. In my 20s, feedback made me feel I could never succeed in this career. But when I refocused on the artist I wanted to be, everything shifted. Listen, learn, grow, but never lose your unique artistry. Keep it safe and sacred. 💕

Introducing “Great advice for Bad Singers” - a new sub series as part of my Wednesday Workshops! Sometimes the best way to find out how to do something is actually to try the opposite!

Did you make it all the way through?! Comment 🥳 if you did! When working on Kaddish for my debut in the piece at @DesElysees, here are 3 things that I thought about to help sing the first phrase in one breath!

What a joy to share “Roma” by Massenet with vous at @theatredeschamps! 💕 I feel such a special connection with Massenet’s music and this character, Fausta. It reaches into the depths of my soul. Merci to @bru_zane, @MonteCarlo_Orch, @DesElysees and conductor Diego Ceretta! 💕
