I didn't know that Clair Obscur Expedition 33 would be a story about exploring grief and what it does to the people around you.

During my playthrough I lost my dear friend to a horrible accident.

This game helped me process that grief. Thank you @sandfallgames.bsky.social and I miss you Dennis 💕

There's a scene in Detroit Opera's android inspired "Cosi fan tutte" set in Detroit where I am playing videogames, so I suggested they get a copy of Detroit: Become Human as it is literally about androids and Detroit. Now I just get to play it whenever we're on a break 😂

Hello Motor City!

It's my first time in Detroit and I'm so excited to be making my house debut AND role debut in Cosi fan tutte with Detroit Opera 💕

Yuval Sharon always has a fascinating new take on the classics, and it's exciting to see what opera can be.

Any Detroit recs?

Everything is on fire and America is a nightmare but at least I can wrap myself in the absolute magic of Bach's St. Matthew Passion this weekend at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Truly one of my all time favorite oratorios 💕

Guess who's dusting off the ol' flute to head back to the Metropolitan Opera next season?!

Trump has elected a host of sycophants to the board of the Kennedy Center and they've just elected him as their Chair.

This is fucking capital F Fascism at work. They're taking the nation's artistic institution and putting their hand over its mouth to control what it says.

When's enough enough?

Planning a recital for yourself is hard enough, but planning a recital for voices you don't even know?

Pray for me hahahaha.

(Also come to the Our Voices recital with Opera Theatre St Louis on May 10th please 💕)

I look away for TWO SECONDS and Spirit Halloween has already moved into my TikTok. Do they have no shame?

I fully paid off our medical credit card debt today 😭

One small step closer to getting this debt to a manageable place!

This is a once in a lifetime chance to make this SpongeBob joke.

Happy 2025! 2024 was a fucking ride, but we're here on the other side a little wiser, more tired, and way less tolerant of bullshit. Lean on your people this year, that's what makes being human beautiful. Nobody has to do it alone 💕

Ending my 2024 with an old warhorse, Beethoven's 9th Symphony with Joe Illick and the New Years Eve Orchestra here in Santa Fe.

Starting my 2025 strong with the world premier of the song cycle "Sueño en mi sueño" (Neruda Songs) by Nick Benavides with the LA Phil on Jan 11th!

Here's to more art 💕

21 days and 8 performances of Handel's "Messiah" later, I'm finally on my holiday break! Last night's sold out concert at Carnegie Hall was the perfect way to end a whirlwind few weeks of music, community, and lots of good eats.

Now for a few well earned days of rest before the next gig 💕

In the 2000s we would've had at least 100 janky but very emotionally satisfying "CEO assassin simulator" Flash games in the Newgrounds portal by now.
