What makes Carmen enduring isn’t her seduction—it’s her autonomy.

As she prepared for her role debut at Seattle Opera, mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke reexamined Bizet’s iconic heroine, challenging long-held assumptions about femininity, power, and fate in our conversation.

“To reduce her to a sexual entity is insulting—and boring.”

Mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke talks about making her role debut in Georges Bizet's "Carmen" at Seattle Opera

What does it mean to confront mortality and refuse to surrender to it?

In Verdi’s Falstaff (now playing at LA Opera), the answer isn’t tragedy. It’s defiance.

Bass-baritone Craig Colclough explores the physical demands of the role, the philosophy behind the comedy, and why Falstaff remains one of opera’s most human characters.

“The real plot is a man confronting decay and deciding not to succumb to it.”
