Ten Questions with...
1. My favorite
thing about being a singer is:
The challenge that each piece brings stylistically and the opportunity to deliver
text that may have been written hundreds of years ago, but still hold meaning
today.
2. The greatest
challenge in being a singer is:
Auditioning.
3. A live music
performance I’ve attended that I will never forget is:
When
I saw the band Coldplay at Alpine Valley, Chris Martin was standing 3 feet away
from me playing my favorite song in the world!
4. A few of my
favorite films are:
Catch
Me if You Can, Titanic, The Other Guys, Giant, When Harry Met Sally.
5. Three things I
can’t live without are:
My
bike, my iPhone, and chocolate.
6. My number one
hobby is:
Weightlifting.
7. If you could
perform with any singer, retired or deceased, who would it be?
I
would perform with Maria Callas or Ethel Merman.
8. If you weren’t
a singer, what profession would you be in?
I'd
be a personal trainer.
9. What role do
you wish you could sing that you could never sing because it’s the wrong voice
type/gender?
Madama
Butterfly, Leporello, or Escamillo.
10. Describe your
favorite moment on stage.
I was in a play where we had to recite lines from Shakespeare backwards,
when the lights went out and I realized I'd said everything in the correct backwards
order, that was my favorite moment.
Bonus: One
question you wish someone would ask you (and the answer).
How many operas have you seen?
And
though I can't quantify it, to put it in perspective, I once saw 21
performances of the same production.
See Jennifer in Madison Opera's production of Handel's Acis and Galatea January 10-13 in The Playhouse at Overture Center. Tickets start at just $20, but they're going fast!
