My boyz! 😉 We have moved into the theater this week for #Stiffelio. We are getting closer and closer to opening this show @TheaterWien…so we take naps on stage whenever we can. 😴

…a reminder that even in the face of fear, peace can be found in unwavering faith. Wishing all of my colleagues a wonderful opening night, as we embark on this evening of profound & poignant story telling.

Tonight I have the honor of debuting the role of #BlanchedelaForce in #Poulenc’s #DialoguesdesCarmélites here @TheDallasOpera. Rehearsing this opera has moved me deeply. Portraying Blanche, a woman torn between fear & faith, has given me the opportunity to reflect…

[JOYCE EL-KHOURY @JoyceSoprano]

…on my own spiritual journey & has allowed me to express my faith on stage like never before. Poulenc’s luminous score gives voice to the quiet heroism of belief in a time of chaos. And though this story is centuries old, its message feels achingly relevant today…

[JOYCE EL-KHOURY @JoyceSoprano]

My journey with Blanche de la Force is now in full swing. She reminds me that fear and light often share the same room. ✨

@dredbeveridge Thank you so much, Ed! ♥️

[JOYCE EL-KHOURY @JoyceSoprano]

@melhugsopera So kind of you to say. Thank you so much!! ♥️♥️

[Melinda Hughes @melhugsopera]

#RBOVespers was epic. Christ it’s a long opera but every soloist was absolutely stunning and @JoyceSoprano OMG what a stunning voice. I remember from Al Bustan festival a long. time ago. Brava!

[Ed Beveridge @dredbeveridge]

The principals have some diabolically difficult music to sing.

Quinn Kelsey gave us lots of warm, verlvety legato and Valentyn Dytiuk had a sensational Act 4 & 5.

My highlight: @JoyceSoprano as Hélène - exquisitely detailed, tastefully phrased and of course gorgeous French.
