Soprano in the opera choir

What was the most absurd moment you've ever experienced on or off stage?

In the operetta “The Merry Widow”, I got caught on his suit button with my overlong necklace after making out with a colleague on stage during the performance and we couldn't get away from each other in time.

What future do you dream of?

I hope that children and young people will once again take attending musical theater for granted.
