Tosca Cover Run: ⛪️♥️🔪

This week, I sang my very first Floria Tosca in the cover run for @desmoinesmetroopera ‘s production of TOSCA. Absolutely surreal!

I can’t express the amount of gratitude I have for this profound experience. This was my very first cover assignment in my singing life and being given this beautiful opportunity at 25 was all God’s timing.

Floria Tosca has been with me for about 8 months and she taught me so much about what it means to sing and what it means to perform. This role challenged me in ways that I didn’t expect, but I feel that I have grown in my artistry so much because of her.

Since arriving at DMMO, I have been observing a brilliant team of artists that have shown so much generosity and fearlessness. It has been an honor to cover the phenomenal @laurawildesoprano in this production. Her portrayal of Tosca is heartbreaking, captivating, and fierce. I’m so thankful for the support and kindness she has shown me during this process.

YALL! I AM THANKFUL, GRATEFUL & BLESSED for the people who have
prepared me for this, including my @palmbeachopera family and my vocal coach @shaneschag

I want to give a very special THANK YOU to my teacher @novabellethomas
You have been so important in my preparation for this stunning role and words can’t fully describe how much your mentorship means to me.

Thank you Michael Egel, Lisa Hasson and @fingahspellegrino for trusting me with this project…it has been a life changing time for me that will stay close to my heart forever.

Our Maestra @chiyuanlin_070 , our orchestra and coach Elden Little, and our director @abril.valbuena - Thank you all so much for giving us such an artistic safe space, for being the powerhouses you are and for giving me this awesome experience!

My colleagues and I felt so loved by all of the people who came to watch us perform - THANK YALL!!! 🩷
And a huge shoutout to my beautiful Mom who was in the audience and to my grandparents Nanny and Goggy from home 🥰

The Lord’s blessings continue to astonish me and I can’t wait to see where He will lead me next.

Goodbye for now, my beautiful and vivacious Ms. T, I love you and I hope one day, I can sing you again!

Two years attending @shepherd_school and two years making countless memories and achievements. While getting my master's degree was the intended goal, I can't believe how many connections and laughs I was able to find along the way. This degree and chapter has been and will always be one of my life's biggest blessings.

I truly can't thank @robinrice907 @jwinograde @ninosanikidze @bethanyselfcoach @tiahj66 @lyndsisue @alexvmunger & @rachchao enough for the countless hours of support, teaching, coaching, & knowledge they gave to me. Not to mention the continued support!

To my mom, Linden Bat Asherah. Thank you for always being there for me and believing in my capabilities. You are the best mother I could ask for and I am so happy you raised me. I'll always be there for you no matter where this career takes me.

Go Owls!!🦉🦉🦉
