Hey friends! Which opera with a canonically disabled main character is your favourite? (And yes, terminal illness and mental illness can both be disabling!)

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY and to celebrate I'm releasing a short little video later today! Please excuse the slightly horrific sound issues I was having - I feel like the tech of this channel has been slightly cursed since day one 😂

NEW VIDEO ✨ Today is #WorldOperaDay, so Jacqueline Ko (another disabled opera singer) and I sat down and really dove in to advocacy from within the opera world! Learn the ways in which opera has - and hasn't - been accessible to us as chronically ill and disabled singers in today's video!

When I said I'm back at editing (slowly), I meant it 👀 Keep your eyes peeled for another guest spot from my forever partner in operatic crime!

Hello darlings! Yes, I'm still alive. It's taken most of the summer to start feeling a little more normal after how busy the tail end of my 2022-2023 season has been, but I'm here - and, very slowly, I'm editing footage!
It's likely still gonna take a while until my next video goes up as I slowly get back into the groove and the swing of things, but trust and believe: I'm still working on bringing you content about disability and opera together, and videos are on their way. :)
Many hugs to you all, and I hope y'all are doing as well as you can!

The opera world lost a titan this week. She was the best of the best, a consummate artist, and a generous teacher (and the direct teacher to one of my longest-standing coaches, too). She was l'assoluta, Violetta supreme, and her contribution to the art form cannot be overstated.
You fine folks already know how much I love what few recordings exist of hers. If you don't know her work well, I encourage you to seek out some of her recordings today, and honour the passing of one of the greatest to ever do it.

Hey friends! Still on my YouTube break for contract reasons (lol it's five simultaneous contracts now!), but today's show has been cancelled due to COVID inside the production. Have you had performances cancelled recently due to cast or crew cases of COVID? What happened?! Was there no cover, standby, or other option in your production/concert/show? Drop your stories in the comments!
