Carmina Thoughts

Juliet's voice is really top notch I think. I mean really flawless. She makes her singing look so effortless. She manages to connect her entire body; breath support, emotion, everything... Dr. Hibbard was great too. They all had their different interpretations to the Carmina solos. But Juliet had a very light quality sound to her voice; slightly lighter than Dr. Hibbard's; less Wagnerian I guess you can say. Dr. Hibbard has a real power house energy in her voice. Not bad at all and perhaps better for Carmina I guess, but I liked Juliet's voice for those pieces. It is no wonder Juliet is phenomenal. If anyone should be singing at the MET it's her. And she is so quiet and humble with her talent it seems. The silent but deadly type. She doesn't brag about how good she is but she shows you. And that is the best way to be.

It was a huge inspiration to hear both of them sing though. It just makes me want to be up there singing and it was an honor to sing on the same stage with them at the same time. Even if I was only part of the choir.
