Opera is for everyone!

The internationally acclaimed coloratura soprano has been piling on triumph after triumph. Erin released her first solo album in April, Rose in Bloom. She kindly spoke to me about that, feminizing roles, skydiving, and more.

The Met’s 2024-25 season is coming to an end in just over six weeks, but there are still some artists readying to make their debuts. These are the two sopranos and a conductor that Met audiences will meet very soon.

Golda Schultz’s voice is reminiscent of a vibrant flower opening its petals toward the sun, and Mozart, You Drive Me Crazy! is an exquisitely juicy album from one of the world’s most exquisite sopranos.

Romeo and Juliet reliably make you swoon and weep, but a truly worthy cast should make the “sweet sorrow” fresh each time. The cast the Met has assembled for Roméo et Juliette blows these and other standards away.
