Canadian soprano Simone Osborne graces the Opera Glasses podcast - currently starring in Calgary Opera’s The Elixir of Love, Feb 3 - 9, 2024. We talk about how she expertly balances career and family life. Simone offers a rare glimpse into her  craft and the supportive network that helps her excel both on stage and at home. After Calgary, she will be on the Canadian Opera Company stage as Norina in Don Pasquale, Apr 26 - May 18, 2024.

Simone and I share our experiences and extend a hand to the next generation of opera artists, imparting wisdom on the art of embracing the unexpected and trusting one's own voice in a post-pandemic era that demands both resilience and authenticity.

To wrap up this episode, we engage in a discussion about the power of genuine connection, both on the stage and off.
