Ach! Ich fühl’s#tbt one of the boldest starts to any aria I’ve ever done – around 18 seconds in there’s an audible difference when I turn around, from singing in a tunnel to an opera house – facing upstage, no monitor, no audible foldback, singing into the distant point of extreme perspective that formed the set……I’m reminded of this because my godmother came to see Der Freischütz last weekend in Basel. She asked me what has been my favourite ever thing to sing… and it’s still this. I have loved every role and character I’ve been able to explore (musically and dramatically) but something about Pamina is just synonymous for me with the pleasure of singing and making music.(It absolutely blows my mind that with all of its innovation and daring, Der Freischütz had its premiere just 30 years after Die Zauberflöte 🤯)Like Der Freischütz, this was a role debut AND revival production. Unlike Der Freischütz we had 3 days rehearsal. I was so incredibly fortunate to work with @hermeshelfricht – his generosity and vulnerability (particularly in this aria) were amazingly wise (beyond his years!) so calming, so inspiring. I think my godmother may have been at this performance too. Here’s to all the extraordinary people in our lives who travel great distances to support us.
