What a privilege it was to sing Erika in "Vanessa" at New York City Opera, with the original Erika, Rosalind Elias, as the Old Baroness.
Getting to sing with Richard Stillwell as The Doctor was one of the reasons I jumped at the chance to sing Erika!
Singing Dorabella with one of my mezzo idols (and now, I'm proud to say, friend!), Susanne Mentzer as Despina. Backstage at Santa Fe during "Cosi".
I admit I have a thing for baritones…especially fellow Iowan Sherill Milnes.
Backstage at NYCO with John Cullum and Barbara Cook (!!)
The Iowa Butter Cow...of course.
