The only opera that has made me cry – Der fliegende Holländer (The Flying Dutchman) by Wagner.
3. If you could have any other job in the world, what would it be?
Egyptologist

Panna cotta – it’s one of the easiest desserts you can make and has the ability to take on a range of flavors.
5. If you had to describe yourself using three words, what would they be?
Passionate, Dedicated, Joyful.
6. What is your favorite holiday?
Halloween! I start planning my costumes at the beginning of each year. And have amassed quite the collection of decorations for my annual party.
7. What was your first opera?
I watched various Met productions on Channel 2 as a child. My parents took me to see Aida, a traveling production performed at the Orpheum Theater, when I was in elementary school. The spectacle of the production was amazing and emotional connection I felt to the music was intense. I’ve been a lover of opera ever since.
8. If they made a movie of your life, what would it be about and which actor would you want to play you?Winona Ryder – I think she could really channel my rage-filled moments.
9. Are you a morning or night person? Definitely a night person as my 10am – 6pm work schedule will prove.
10. What’s your favorite thing to do in the winter?
Curl up by a fireplace and drink eggnog. But as I have no fireplace, the space heater works just as well.
