Welcome to my website. I’m a voice teacher, critic, author, and performer located in Manhattan. For those seeking information on my recently published book, Opera as Opera—“Without doubt, the most important book ever written in English on opera in performance” (Joseph Horowitz, The Wall Street Journal )—the second printing is now available. For a more detailed description of this major critical study, click here.
