I love the human voice; its power to express emotional truths and facilitate empathetic understanding of the other. I'm most interested in what opera could be, rather than that which it has already achieved. Talk to me about stories that have yet to be told in this form; talk to me about the politics of representation; talk to me about opera's relationship to indigeneity and its role in truth and reconciliation; talk to me about how to ensure that opera's greatest achievements lie ahead, rather than behind, us.
