I had the immense pleasure of spending another summer with La Musica Lirica, an opera training program in Italy. This summer, I served as a production manager, and our company staged and toured four operas in five weeks, as well as concerts, masterclasses, voice lessons, and Italian coachings.

I also had the privilege of directing our Opera Scenes program, which presented scenes from eleven different operas, check out some photos below (photo credit: Robert Breault)
