Happy New Year!!! I’m looking to bring as much positivity and joy into 2026 as possible, and I can’t wait to connect with as many of you as I can.

I don’t know y’all, I think 2026 might be kinda wild.

Opening night of Rossini’s Il Viaggio a Reims is here! Inspired by Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada, I take no prisoners as Madama Cortese. 😎 This is one of the biggest casts I’ve ever been a part of, with 17 characters, and believe me, we’re having a blast together! Just so happy to be back at ! 😍

Role debuts galore!!! As I gear up to start rehearsals in Philadelphia tomorrow, I’m so excited (okay, and a little daunted) by all the new rep I’m singing this year! It’ll feel great to return to all these houses, and also to make my debut at the beautiful Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía in Valencia! It’s also the first time (?!?) in my professional career that I’ll create a role in a world premiere, which is just BEYOND exciting. Let me know if you’ll be coming to any of these cities!!!
