Musicienne

 I’m studying music interpretation in the specialty of lyric singing, and I think mostly of my career’s curriculum is very good. We have a lot of very good subjects that are very helpful for our careers as musicians and singers like phonetic, acting, opera, chamber music, history of music and others with amazing teachers. But even with all of that good things I would change some other little things in the curriculum, like professional practice: I would like to have the chance to sing in a professional choir, for example. Also I would change the amount of singing auditions we have along the year. We, students and teachers, think that are not enough, that we need more exposure to the stage and the public. Although many of us share the belief that the career is too long, I think that when we graduate we end up with a lot of knowledge and very well prepared for working life. Regarding the faculty infrastructure, I think it works but it's not enough. It is necessary to fix the elevators...

I think time travel is very interesting. I wouldn’t like to travel to the future because I’m not too optimistic about it and it gives me a little anxiety 😅 I could imagine myself seeing how bad the future is, coming back to the present and telling everyone how it is and how to change it and then seeing how people treat me like a mad person. I don’t want that. I would like to travel to the past. I think I wouldn’t change anything because, even if I can stop a catastrophe, I don’t know if that change makes our future better or worse. I just would like to presence an historical event just to tell everyone “I WAS THERE!!” If I can choose a date or an event in the past to go, could be February 1942: the operatic debut of Maria Callas, when she was 19 years old, or one of her stunning representations of Tosca or La Traviata of 1958. I would like to recorder her in video because there is not exist a video recording of her singing an opera, there are just concerts, interviews or voice recordi...

  Through the years I’ve changing my dream job. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a “puppy doctor” ( a veterinary) because I love puppies. Then, I wanted to be a violinist, and then, a music teacher. It wasn’t till I started the university that I realized that I actually didn't wanted to be a teacher, what I really wanted was to live from art, to live making music. And when I started studying lyric singing I realized that there is a kind of art that mixes all of the arts I like: OPERA. To me, being an opera singer is the most wonderful job. I have to sing, act, sometimes dance too and I have to wear all those beautiful costumes from different ages. Also, I would love to sing in all of those beautiful theaters with beautiful stages all around the world. Great musicians have the opportunity of travel around the world thanks to the music, and I think that is very valuable and wonderful, so I want that for me too. I know that this career is very competitive and lonely, but even ...
