I look forward to returning stateside this spring and summer for several performances of Adams' 'Nixon in China' (excerpts). It's a privilege to be diving back in to this crucial work, especially during today's political climate.

100 years ago yesterday, Alban Berg's 'Wozzeck' had its premiere in Berlin. The title role of 'Wozzeck' came as a late debut role for me, but the time needed to learn a score that complicated and rich was warranted. I had the great honor of singing this role at the Met in 2014.

To honor Verdi, here is a clip of "Pieta rispetto amore" from the final act of 'Macbeth' (Opernhaus Zürich, 2001).
