What an adventure 'Turandot' has been so far! We finished our third performance last night and it's just starting to feel real. Returning to Oper Frankfurt, where I began my career, and taking on this role has been a beautiful full circle moment for me. I'm soaking up every minute 🥰

Grateful to be returning next season to Opéra national de Paris! I'm honored to be Sieglinde as part of their complete Ring Cycle, and to sing the title role of Turandot in Robert Wilson's gorgeous production. À bientôt, Paris! 🥰🇫🇷

Happy First Day of Spring! 🌼

It feels a bit odd to be in the midst of rehearsals for my first Ice Princess (Turandot) during this time, but even she melts happily at the first sign of warmth ☺️. More soon!

Happy Birthday, Handel! 🥳

What an honor it was to sing the title role of Rodelinda at the Metropolitan Opera a few seasons ago. I adore this duet, and sharing it with Iestyn Davies was a dream 💗

That's a wrap on our 'Lohengrin' at Staatsoper Unter den Linden! It's always a comfort coming home to the beautiful character of Elsa. She and I are very good friends 💗 We will meet again next season in Philadelphia with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick Nezet-Seguin! 🥰

Taken at the Bayreuth Festival during our run of 'Lohengrin' last August. I had a lovely little perch from my dressing room! ☺️

I hope everyone has a safe and beautiful new year 💗

Happy 100th Birthday, 'Wozzeck'! Yesterday was the 100th anniversary to the day of the premiere of Alban Berg's 'Wozzeck', which would eventually become a landmark for contemporary opera and opera history.

It was a challenge, but I loved getting to sing Marie at the Met during the 2019-20 season

The rush I feel each time I reach this moment in the opera is indescribable. After endless suffering, Sieglinde finally sees a light at the end of her tunnel! You can hear in the orchestra alone what a turn Sieglinde's destiny has taken 💗

Happy World Opera Day!

The sensation that comes over us when we hear something really inspiring and beautiful sung by a human voice- it has a visceral effect on our nervous system. And I think that makes World Opera Day worth celebrating. 💗

Sieglinde and I are spending lots of time together this season: Here in Paris during the month of November, at La Scala in March, and at the Bayreuth Festival next summer! The more time we spend together, the more I discover about her and the closer I feel to her 💗
