A defining moment or favorite onstage experience: Performing Die Fledermaus in Rome, and having the "Rosalinde" miss her cue to enter twice, and having to improvise a monologue in German until she showed up on stage. Having to sing an aria in a performance of Menotti's Amelia al ballo while climbing up and down a rope.

What are you listening to these days? I will recommend the latest CD of the ensemble Gravitación titled Elements. It is fantastic if I say so myself.

Anything you'd like to add about yourself? I am very fortunate to have music in my life, as it has given me the opportunity to become friends with a truly talented bunch of individuals, whom I can call my family.
