"Beauty and Inspiration"—The New York Times2008 Queens Council on the Arts Individual Artist Grant winner
2008 Urban Artist Initiative/NYC Fellowship recipient
Welcome to my web site!
I specialize in portrayals of such opera seria heroes as Handel's Ariodante (Ariodante), Mozart's Idamante (Idomeneo) and Rossini's Tancredi (Tancredi) along with their better-known standard repertory brethren such as Cherubino (Le nozze di Figaro) and Octavian (Der Rosenkavalier).
I am a passionate proponent of operas composed by women, including the works of my dissertation subject, Maria Antonia, Electress of Saxony (1724-1780).
Additionally, I am an oratorio soloist and an expert in baroque dance.
Thank you for your interest and support. This is a constantly evolving site, so bookmark it and visit often!
