Bye-Bye, 2025! Hello, 2026! 👋
Taken at the Bayreuth Festival during our run of 'Lohengrin' last August. I had a lovely little perch from my dressing room! ☺️
I hope everyone has a safe and beautiful new year 💗

Happy 100th Birthday, 'Wozzeck'! Yesterday was the 100th anniversary to the day of the premiere of Alban Berg's 'Wozzeck', which would eventually become a landmark for contemporary opera and opera history.
It was a challenge, but I loved getting to sing Marie at the Met during the 2019-20 season

The rush I feel each time I reach this moment in the opera is indescribable. After endless suffering, Sieglinde finally sees a light at the end of her tunnel! You can hear in the orchestra alone what a turn Sieglinde's destiny has taken 💗

Happy World Opera Day!
The sensation that comes over us when we hear something really inspiring and beautiful sung by a human voice- it has a visceral effect on our nervous system. And I think that makes World Opera Day worth celebrating. 💗

Sieglinde and I are spending lots of time together this season: Here in Paris during the month of November, at La Scala in March, and at the Bayreuth Festival next summer! The more time we spend together, the more I discover about her and the closer I feel to her 💗
