Quotes

  • " Leontyne Price's recording was the real inspiration. That role is so challenging because there are three arias right in the first act. "

    Minnesota Public Radio - Saint Paul MN, Mar 02, 2010
  • " The stories are the kind that we would raise and eyebrow at today. A hundred years ago they were writing plots for opera that kind of rival our pulpiest fiction. "

    Minnesota Public Radio - Saint Paul MN, Mar 02, 2010
  • " I was surprised by some of the vulgar content "

    Minnesota Public Radio - Saint Paul MN, Mar 02, 2010
  • " I absolutely wanted to find drama and work on a recording that sort of represented drama because I had done so much Strauss and so many lyric recordings that were more sustained and beautiful, and that's kind of where my voice lives as well. It was a typical kind of expression for me. The Italian Verismo music is typically very dramatic, we think of Madame Butterfly and Tosca, and a lot of these kinds of favorite pieces. So it was a real labor of love, and then I was surprised to discover all of this great music that nobody knows. I didn't know most of it! "

    Minnesota Public Radio - Saint Paul MN, Mar 02, 2010
  • " It has everything to do with the period in which it was written, but it means truth, so this is music that's meant to represent real life as opposed to the fantasy world of period kings and queens and sorcerers and things like that. I think that was really the thing that made the big difference. "
