Kelsey Park, mezzo-soprano
2nd Lady in The Magic Flute
1. Where were you born / raised?
I was born in Washington State, but grew up in Nebraska.
2. If you weren't a singer, what profession would you be in?
I probably would have followed my mom's career in architecture/interior design.
3. The first opera I was ever in was ...
Die Fledermaus
4. My favorite opera is...
Gounod's Faust: it was the first professional opera I saw while in college.
5. My favorite post-show meal is...
Any pub-food!
6. People would be surprised to know that...
When I was in second grade, I said I wanted to be an opera singer. I didn't grow up in a family of musicians and thought the idea of wearing a viking helmet while singing was a good one.
7. The musical instrument that I wish I could play is ...
I've always loved the cello but I don't play it.
8. I like to binge-watch...
Any show with my husband.
9. What four people (living or deceased) would you like to invite for a dinner party?
Daniel (my husband) and myself with my two grandfathers. Both shaped my life in ways I'll never know and I wish my husband could have known them in person and not just memories.
10. Everyone should see The Magic Flute because....
It's a classic!
