Such a hopeful, optimistic interview. I forwarded it to all my friends including the Opéra de Montréal Atelier Lyrique which has a similar 2-year program for young opera singers and pianists.

Amazing to have this feedback! We would be interested to hear about the Montréal program as well--thanks so much for watching and sharing!
