I am OVER THE MOON (damn near literally!!) that our recording of Jake Heggie’s Intelligence has won the 2026 Grammy for Best Opera Recording.
Thank you to everyone who has listened, supported, and championed this project – and this mezzo!!! 💜💜💜

I just saw a video about protesters in MN who have located the hotel where ICE is staying and are making noise to keep them from being able to sleep. (Bravi!)
1. I reeeeeeally wish I could be there to join in the noise 😈
2. Q: what classical piece would y’all play at top volume to keep them awake?

This is a role I WISH I could sing.
What a shame this is the only great mezzo role Puccini wrote.

I decided to rewatch the first Twilight movie tonight, and I have thoughts…
1. One of the weirdest things about rewatching this movie is remembering that there was a time where we all thought Kristen Stewart was straight
2. Kristen & Robert sure do have the awkward teenage conversation making down

There are so many reasons I am ridiculously excited for the starter rehearsals for Dead Man Walking over here in San Francisco, but it’s also undeniable that I just got thoroughly giddy at thinking about how beautifully my hair behaves in the Bay Area climate. 🤣

I don’t usually talk like this, but “abolish ICE” should be the centrist position. Even if you are anti-immigration, this agency is an international embarrassment and a money pit.

I called my House Rep (Nikema Williams) today to voice my dissent against the budgetary bill that the Senate just pushed to the House/my support for her fighting the good fight on our behalf, and the person answering the phone was just so kind, and seemed so glad to hear from me.
Call your reps! 🙏🏻

Just sat behind some of the band members from Widespread Panic on a flight, and they were so delightfully normal and chill. It was so lovely to hear legendary rock stars be so kind and generous with everyone who thanked them for their music. 😊

We all deserve better than clickbait – especially when we’re trying to tell stories that actually matter. 💜

This July 4th, I’ll be celebrating a flag I can support wholeheartedly – join us at the Barbican for Classical Pride! 🏳️🌈
P.S. To get in the mood, check out some of the classically queer rep in this video, including the opera character I’m *convinced* is a pansexual icon.
