Opera - We love singing

Music, and more particularly singing is always with us. A certain day we may find ourselves moody and with a melody from La forza del destino playing over and over again in our head. Or maybe we feel like a superhero as we've doing great at work and then we feel like Calaf solving the 3 riddles that Turandot has proposed. First, we would like to build a place where we can talk about our passion for singing in a positive way. There is already too much of those toxic places where we criticize endlessly the minimum error of a given singer. We need more places where we can be respectful and still express our differences, as art is perception and no one perceives art equally to one another.Our second proposal is to come and share, both Katia and I are pretty sure there are a million questions you have always asked yourself about singing and as singers are sometimes not the most approachable people, well we hope can answers some of those questions!!

Maria Callas Centennial - time travelling to 1950 Mexico City: The Expectation

May 13, 2024 • Katia Arellano / Ricardo Ramirez

Send us a text

For this trip we need to put apart many things that we know now. We are travelling to a time where Maria Callas whas Meneghini Callas, she was not La Divina. She was not as famous as she came to be years later. We have no mobile telephones, meaning there is no way to learn immediately news from all other places almost at the time they are happening. This program is built with a number of sources to provide a bigger picture of what was actually happening back then.

This program, this first travel in time is: The expectation

You can always check our page in Ko-fi where we are posting more content related to the program and ourselves. We are very interested in learning from you:
