Singer Spotlight

Julie Smith
2018 Summer Opera Festival ROLE: Suor Dolcina in Suor Angelica
 
What are you looking forward to most about preparing your role? I look forward to discovering how this character fits into life at the abby.  I also get to sing beautiful Puccini music!
 
If you had to choose a pop song that best describes the character you are portraying, what would it be? I'm not sure of a pop song, but the first song that comes to mind is "Food, Glorious Food" from the musical Oliver.
 
What do you think will be the most challenging part about preparing your role? Fleshing out a woman who only sings about food.  
 
Why do you love to sing opera? I love how emotional and colorful the music is.
 
Aside from singing, name a talent/stupid human trick/hobby others might not be aware of .... I love reading web comics and drawing house plans.
