As a young student in New York I recall purchasing my first Bärenreiter score, Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, a gift into the future! Soon after on Christmas day, opening my sister’s gift, out came that famous blue book, Händel’s Alcina. I screamed for joy. These two scores were the defining moments in my career when I performed the roles of Alcina and Susanna at Opéra de Paris. For me Bärenreiter symbolizes reliability and accuracy which allows me to approach projects with great confidence. I’m proud to be a Bärenreiter Ambassador.
