I was so proud of the performances of the young singers at Westminster Choir College this weekend for their dedicated and wonderfully musical work on Der Schauspieldirektor and Gianni Schicchi. The performances were terrific, and the audiences both nights were roaring with laughter. Kara-Lynn Vaeni, director, brought so much energy and creativity to the process, I was so happy to have the chance to work with her. And William Hobbs, conductor, brought out so many lovely colors in the orchestra. I am so lucky to call them both colleagues and friends. If you’ve never seen an opera at Westminster Choir College, you are missing the opportunity to see bright young talent on the rise.
