“Our voice does, and does not, belong to us. It is an enigmatic vibrational phenomenon, suspended between the anonymous biology of our larynx and the singular mirror of our psyche, animated by the breath that we borrow from the trees, and return in turn to the world…”

Acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard dies at 88 The Czech-born British playwright is known for Arcadia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and The Coast of Utopia. Stoppard also wrote screenplays for Brazil and Shakespeare in Love.

Seeing the original production of Arcadia in London when I was 20 was life-changing. RIP. www.npr.org/2025/11/29/1...

A hit! The reviews were right. :)

The Monkey King at San Francisco Opera. Super excited.

One night only 🎶… A livestream of The Monkey King from SF Opera on Tuesday. Reviews have been excellent, and M. Butterfly from the same composer and librettist was jaw-dropping. Worth checking out. www.sfopera.com/operas/the-m...

I’ll be there the next night. Inevitable that our paths will cross at some point. :) Teleport to Houston if you can tonight to see the closing night of Porgy. It was really quite something. The Monkey King is next for me, in San Francisco this coming week…

I’ll be in town one night only for the very last performance :) if you’re there too, let’s find each other :) :)

Excited to see this next month. The reviews from Aix were excellent, and I loved Denis & Katya.

So many feels! Final night of Il Trittico at Houston Grand Opera. Heading home on a cloud…

And we’re back

It doesn’t get better. Huge thank you and much love to all the incredible artists who made this happen. #porgyandbess #houstonopera
