Here's an interview that at reader has found about Janice Watson, Grammy award winning artist and soon to be Salome at the SLO production opening in August. Here she discusses singing another Strauss opera, the Marschallin. Look out for our own Mad Scene exclusive coming soon as the dates draw nearer!

i heard her as elsa in lohengrin last year in hamburg. she was excellent: bright and silvery and clear, and could carry the hall well enough too but unfortunately flubbed a note and dramatically was rather subdued, overshadowed by ortrud (gabriele schnaut, still a force of nature after all these years).
ReplyDeletedefinitely looking forward to her salome.
