What it's like being an opera singer
Opera on the Mountain 2024 was a huge success!
It was an amazing experience getting to work with not only the incredible staff at the Nashville Opera, but also with super skilled and very kind fellow singers. I feel very lucky to be able to pursue opera, and even luckier to get to interact with all the amazing minds in classical music on a regular basis.
I made it a goal to share more about my life as a young opera singer, so I hope you enjoy this and please let me know if you have any questions!

Being an opera singer involves more than just performing; it’s a journey filled with challenges and rewarding moments. From rigorous training sessions to breathtaking performances, young opera singers learn to convey emotions and narratives through their craft. As a rising star in the operatic world, it’s vital to connect with both the audience and fellow artists. The community aspect is strong in opera, providing support and encouragement along the way. Events like Opera on the Mountain create unforgettable experiences, allowing singers to showcase their talents in unique outdoor settings, surrounded by nature and fellow music lovers. Training often involves mastering techniques related to breath control, vocal projection, and emotional expression. Continuous learning, often through workshops and masterclasses, plays a crucial role in honing these skills. One of the highlights of performing in unique venues, like Vanderbilt's Dyer Observatory, is the intimate atmosphere it creates, allowing the audience to feel a personal connection to the performance. This element of storytelling is essential in opera, captivating the audience and leaving lasting impressions. For those interested in attending operatic shows, consider exploring local operatic events that feature young talent, allowing you to witness the future of opera firsthand. Whether it’s a casual night out or an elaborate performance, opera unifies people through its powerful artistry.
