Happy Easter!

Time to reflect...Time to enjoy
This is a very special Easter celebration, some of us are in the hospital, suffering, alone, all of us are in isolation, alone or with friends or family members, but what I have learned through this big health crisis is to be more compassionate, to value things and others more and to appreciate the gift of music, to be able to uplift and make people happy.
Hope you enjoy this short clip of my performance at Moor Park Mansion, before the Covid-19 outbreak:

Let's all make a positive difference in the world!
With my best wishes

As I explore the songs of The Merry Widow by Franz Lehár, I find it refreshing to sing about love in such a beautiful and uplifting way. From “Vilia, O Vilia” in which a handsome huntsman falls under the spell of a fair mountain sprite, to the romantic and elegant “Unspoken Love,” with its memorable sentiment that “the world is in love with love, and I love you,” these songs capture the charm and optimism that make operetta so enduring. The operetta repertoire presents different challenges from opera. It requires a lighter vocal approach while still conveying emotional depth, elegance, and sincerity. A timeless gem, that will delight audiences of all ages and offers music that can be enjoyed by family and friends alike.
