Interview: SAN DIEGO OPERA'S TOSCA at San Diego Civic Center Theatre
by Ron Bierman - Mar 20, 2023
Puccini is one of Michelle Bradley’s favorite composers, and she’s in San Diego to sing his Tosca for the San Diego Opera company. We were originally scheduled to talk in person, but a rehearsal change meant Zoom was going to work better for an hour discussion.
“I'm happy to be back, and I know that everyone's happy to have me back because I've been treated warmly as always.

The ocean’s close, the mountains, beautiful views. I've made some great friends, and it’s a wonderful relationship to have. They seem to think I’m a star.”

Review: Are Met Audiences Blue? Yes, Because TRAVIATA Has an Angel
by Richard Sasanow - Mar 10, 2023
Soprano Angel Blue’s Violetta didn’t seem as tragic as we’re used to seeing in Verdi’s masterwork and maybe that's right. She’s lived life on her own terms and if she’s dying of tuberculosis, well, c’est la vie. (After all, the source of the piece is French: the Alexandre Dumas fils “La Dame aux Camellias”).
