What am I hoping for? – New 2024/2025 season
October 11, 2024Keeping it real: Follow me on Instagram
If you’re keen to stay updated on my professional life and get a behind-the-scenes look at what I’m up to, head over to Instagram. While I promise myself every new season that I’ll prioritise my website, the reality is that I often find myself drawn to other things – like immersing myself in a captivating role, catching up with my partner, recording podcasts for a friend, or diving into a good book (usually a biography or something work-related).
So, if you want a sneak peek into my musical world, Instagram is the place to be.
On to the main news: the new season 24/25!
The Staatstheater Darmstadt’s motto is “Worauf hoffen” – pretty big words given the current political and environmental climate. It’s tough keeping up with the news at the moment. I’m searching for ways to stay informed and engage in dialogue without feeling overwhelmed or hopeless. I’m grateful for my work during these times. Singing is like deep breathing, you know? To dedicate yourself to music and art, you have to open yourself up and release tension – it’s an incredible gift when the world around you is in crisis.
On a more positive note, I’m on an exciting vocal journey right now. My voice is evolving in all sorts of ways, and I’m trying my best to support and nurture this process. Together with my trusted confidants, I’m exploring the dramatic repertoire. It feels thrilling and completely right.
The season in Darmstadt was planned a while ago, and not all the roles I’m singing this season align perfectly with what I feel is my absolute strength right now (check the calendar) . But I hope to have more time and energy to work on new and interesting roles in my practice room, and that I’ll be invited to exciting productions, projects, and auditions. I’m also looking forward to finding new and inspiring collaborators.
There is hope!
