Here are some production photos from a dress rehearsal of the Verdi opera Rigoletto. The actual performance was on July 21st in Miami Beach, FL. I am playing Maddalena, the sister of the assassin Sparafucile who is hired by Rigoletto to kill the Duke of Mantua. I am not a nice person. It is a contralto part, but us Mezzos play it all the time.
Me with the Duke. A trollop's job is loads of fun. We drink wine, cavort with Nobility, have our breasts pushed to our chins etc...
Sitting on the Duke's lap, playing cards, of course.
Ready for my close-up, Mr. Demille.
The Duke has left, I gaze longingly...
But I don't want to kill the Duke!
Being an assassin's sister sucks.
He he! Let's kill the soprano instead!
