It was really special to be able to write a text for this new cycle. I can’t wait to sing it for the first time in Berlin on November 1, with composer @JeffBealMusic at the piano.

“Great advice for Bad Singers” - a new sub series as part of my Wednesday Workshops!

Being unprepared is a terrible feeling, and can damage your reputation and confidence. Do yourself a favour, and always strive to be over prepared for a gig!!💕

Recital at Staatsoper Berlin - November 1

I am so excited to debut this new song cycle by @JeffBealMusic in Berlin next month.

I loved choosing the poems together for this four song cycle called “Our Better Sevles.”

Returning to the @rbo_org tonight for my final performance in this run of “Don Giovanni.” Mozart always teaches me something…and this run is no exception. I am grateful to have returned to this role at this theater that I love, and to have spent several weeks in beautiful London

[Rachel Willis-Sørensen @RWSing]

I almost gave up.

In my 20s, feedback made me feel I could never succeed in this career. But when I refocused on the artist I wanted to be, everything shifted.

Listen, learn, grow, but never lose your unique artistry. Keep it safe and sacred. 💕

Donna Anna in “Don Giovanni” tonight at the @rbo_org 💕

Singing Mozart is always a joy and a workout! 🏃‍♀️Going through the most difficult part of the role in my dressing room before heading on stage for our second to last performance.

Introducing “Great advice for Bad Singers” - a new sub series as part of my Wednesday Workshops!

Sometimes the best way to find out how to do something is actually to try the opposite!

Did you make it all the way through?! Comment 🥳 if you did!

When working on Kaddish for my debut in the piece at @DesElysees, here are 3 things that I thought about to help sing the first phrase in one breath!

[Rachel Willis-Sørensen @RWSing]

Want to hear more of this opera? Listen to the @francemusique radio broadcast on October 17th at 20:00.

Now, back to working on my next role debut: the soprano part in Bernstein’s “Kaddish,” that I will be performing this Thursday also @DesElysees!

[Rachel Willis-Sørensen @RWSing]

What a joy to share “Roma” by Massenet with vous at @theatredeschamps! 💕

I feel such a special connection with Massenet’s music and this character, Fausta. It reaches into the depths of my soul.

Merci to @bru_zane, @MonteCarlo_Orch, @DesElysees and conductor Diego Ceretta! 💕

Let’s take a look at singing larger intervals, and where to place consonants today!

This has really helped me when working on my role debut as Fausta in Massenet’s “Roma.”
