Feeling so grateful as I reflect on making my @sfopera debut as Klytemnestra’s Trainbearer in Strauss’s Elektra✨🌟

This past month has been such a special one. Being part of this production, sharing the stage with this phenomenal cast, the magnificent @sfoperaorchestra @eskconductor and performing on the incredible War Memorial stage has been a dream come true. I adore every moment of being a part of this incredible company and bringing this grand work to life.

We’ve already had some wonderful performances, and I can’t believe we only have a few left! ✨ What an amazing cast, team, and experience this has been. Excited for the season ahead!!! And the biggest thank you’s to @markusbeam, @carrieannmatheson @merolaopera @notandrewjking @mattphatt @its.jiyoun — people who inspire me so much.

If you haven’t seen Elektra yet, there’s still time 💌 Hope to see you there!

xoxo, a 💋

We loved seeing you outside the Opera House in April—across cities, parks, piers, and everywhere in between.

Bohème Out of the Box is only possible because of the people who make it happen: the artists who bring it to life, the crews who build it from the ground up, the teams who keep it moving, and the audiences who make each stop feel like home.

Thank you for being part of it. 🎭

✨🎶 You have the power to shape a performer’s artistic journey and forge a lasting creative connection through your support of a 2026 CLA Summer Artist. ✨🎶

This year, we are reintroducing the CLA Community Named Program Grant. This crowd-funded grant allows supporters to join together and help an emerging young artist benefit from the transformative experience of a CLA program.

A contribution of $50 is all it takes to contribute to a 2026 Community Program Grant. These grants directly support artists’ costs to attend CLA Summer Programs, allowing exceptional singers and pianists to realize their potential, awaken their artistry, and enrich our world regardless of their financial capacity.

Head to the link in our bio to contribute to a Community Program Grant today, and remember to list the title as “CLA Community Named Program Grant”!

“There’s not a single coaching here where I walked out and did not learn something new…It made me realize how much a sense of community and connection Europeans have, and how we can put that sense of connection into our art form. Storytelling is just developing that human connection.” -Miza Azad, Mezzo-Soprano, CLA Italy 2025
