When I’m not playing a lady of the night, I’m repenting with some Verdi Requiem. 😇🎶 Sneaking in some study time between Hoffmann rehearsals and getting very excited to return to this piece 10 years after my debut in Santiago, Chile.
A lovely full-circle moment to be back in South America again — and very grateful to Andrés Rodríguez for bringing me back. 🙏❤️
And yes, the hands help. 😂🙌

Just me in an empty event room, inopportuning the hotel staff as they graciously let me use the space to practice. 🎶 Looking forward to reprising Verdi’s Requiem this spring!

What an incredible honor it was to sing tonight with my phenomenal colleagues at the Trentino Music Festival. It was made even more special having my daughter there with me—held in my arms for my final song that was about mothers. Having her there meant the world to me, as it was the first time she has been able to attend one of my performances.

Singing Mamma for an Italian audience was especially moving! I dedicated it to all mothers—to my beautiful mother, whose love has shaped my life, and to my daughter, who, by making me a mother, has shown me the true depth of a mother’s love.
Thank you to my colleagues, our Italian audience, and everyone at the Trentino Music Festival for such a memorable evening. My heart is full. ❤️ Trentino Music Festival Emilia Costa-Jackson

Let’s talk about support. True vocal support doesn’t come from gripping or driving—it comes from allowing. We need buoyancy and flexibility, not rigidity. In my studio, we have a saying: when there’s extra tension anywhere in the body, you are “disallowing your diaphragm from coming to the party.” And it’s true. Try tightening your neck and jaw right now and do puppy panting—you can’t really do it, right? When the jaw tightens, the neck grips, the shoulders lift, or the sternum locks, we start recruiting the wrong muscles. In doing so, we interfere with the natural coordination of breath—and the very support system we’re trying to access gets shut out. Support is not about force, it’s about freedom and balance. When the body is released, the breath becomes responsive: the ribs can expand and stay alive and the diaphragm can function the way it’s designed to—without being micromanaged. So instead of asking, “How can I do more?” ask, “Where am I getting in my own way?” or “Where can I do less?” Because the moment we release unnecessary tension, we finally allow our support… to come to the party. 🎉

There’s something so satisfying about revisiting pieces that feel like home. Nedda has always felt that way to me—that rush of freedom in the music never gets old. 🕊️
Coming back to her music reminds me how much there still is to discover… and the trills? Still just as fun (and humbling)! 🎶🤡🎭
