"La mia folle esistenza è come una canzone; ciascuno de' miei amori è una strofa - ma Marcello ne è il ritornello..."
"My mad existence is like a song; each of my loves is a verse - but Marcello is the refrain..."
For me, these words, found in the introduction to Act II in my score of La Bohème, perfectly encapulate the fiery character of Musetta. As you may have seen on the home page, I will be performing the role for Opera North in Spring 2014 - excited doesn't cover it!
This will be my début on a major house stage, and I couldn't ask for a more exciting role or production with which to mark the occasion. Phyllida Lloyd's staging of this opera has received countless plaudits for its freshness and timeless quality. I have got to know Musetta very well during my time singing the role with Heritage Opera, and I am really looking forward to the challenges presented by revisiting a role.
I will let you know as soon as all the dates are finalised (the production is double cast) - watch this space!
