Clonter Opera is a company that I hold dear to my heart. They gave me my first professional contract back in 2018 and have invested in me as a young singer ever since. 🙏🏼
This year I was supposed to be joining them for the Spring Masterclasses but unfortunatley they had to be postponed. The company made the decision to create an online opportunity for those of us who were meant to be participating. It was fantastic! Waking up in the morning with a purpose of singing for people and the ease of working on details of arias in the comfort of our lockdown spaces was such a blessing. We had the chance to work on one aria with Florent Mourier and Wyn Davies which we then remotely recorded.
Here is a little mini documentary about the project:
In the month of July, Clonter will be premiering a series of recorded recitals from their beautiful recital room. Silvia Magagni and I will be sharing a virtual performance with you all on the 4th July 2020. I am very grateful for this new opportunity to perform again.
This week, we went to the venue and had a wonderful time filming it all for you with Steve Brookfield. It was such a strange feeling to sing in front of empty seats, quite emotional even, but it made me feel so honoured to be doing this for a living. It all looks a bit strange right now but we’ll get there!! ❤️ Keep singing, keep listening, keep inspiring..!
