Proudly queer opera singer into drag queens, bluegrass, social justice, equality, and cats – especially her own, River! 😻
- Soooo my bf commissioned a drawing of River from @poorlycatdraw for me for my birthday and I’m so in love with it and can’t stop giggling!! 😻😹😸
- Replying to @pwallinga1. That’s awful… how thoughtless! I hope the neighbors complain. 2. I totally stayed in that building during a contract in SF, and my heart seriously goes out to the people affected by this ridiculously disruptive situation.
- 1. Amanda Gorman is stunning in every definition of the word 2. I’m gonna need to look into her works and find a composer.......:
- The idea that skinny singers are more believable as romantic leads is, pardon me, a bullshit argument. Look around! Audiences of *all* sizes deserve to see themselves on stage and I'm proud to bring my own queer fat femme energy to Last Night of @bbcproms. thetimes.co.uk/article/how-ja…
- Not gonna lie... every time I jump onto Twitter and see a person going on about how "offensive" it was that I chose to wave the Pride flag at last year's @bbcproms #LNOP, it just makes me smile. #makegoodtrouble 🏳️🌈😊🏳️🌈
- I’ve been putting it out there for *years* that I wanted to sing Carmen. Not only is it finally happening, but <full gay gasp> I’M SINGING IT OPPOSITE STEPHANIE F'ING BLYTHE AS JOSÉ!!! @ChicagoOpera is making my queer 💜 so happy...and Blythely Oratonio won't know what hit him.😘
- Today I am fuzzy-brained, floaty, tired, and so happy. Bc last night, I sang my very first Carmen ever with one of my opera heroes (@BlytheMezzo), and was rockin a see thru shirt. For a girl who was told she'd never sing Carmen bc she's fat, this feels like a BIG FAT WIN. 💜
GIF- Dear arts organizations, It'd be nice to get information on COVID-19 updates that affect our jobs directly from you before you release that information to Twitter or the press. Hearts and flowers, All of the artists who are nervously waiting to hear what is happening
- First pants role? ✔️ First title role? ✔️ First Orfeo? ✔️ It’s opening day, y’all! LET’S GO RESCUE A SOPRANO FROM THE UNDERWORLD!! 🔥🤟🏻😝🤟🏻🔥
00:00 - MY STATE OFFICIALLY WENT BLUE!! 💙🍑💙How it started: How it ended:
- I’m off the grid with my family for the weekend, but I thought I’d just step back over here to say: - Trans women are women 👍🏻 - Trans men are men 👍🏻 - Non-binary people are equally valid 👍🏻 - We cis people aren’t made lesser for accepting others as they are 👍🏻 💙💖🤍💖💙
- Hi, Twittersphere! I’ve been adjusting to life after #LNOP, and the Twitter notifications have been coming in at an insane rate... I can’t keep up!! But I wanted to say that the messages that have come through have been so overwhelmingly positive, and that means the world. 💜
