Steve Crawford has conducted at the Metropolitan Opera, Kentucky, Dayton, Opera Roanoke, Opera Idaho, Chautauqua, and many others. He has worked at numerous young artist programs, and coaches in Manhattan. I particularly love working Italian repertoire with Steve, but watch out --- he is famous for his sly musical puns.

I'm privileged to get to work with some of the best makeup artists in the business. I love Bridie so much that I've hired her three times --- twice for videos, and most recently for my latest photo shoot. She's sweet, sunny, professional, and she does a GREAT job.
Vogmask
Vogmask is "the original stylish filtering respirator", designed to reduce the potential exposure of the wearer to airborne hazardous contaminants (and conceived at Burning Man for maximum hipster cred). It comes in microfiber and organic materials, with many choices of cool prints and colors. Perfect for the traveling singer who would prefer not to share the air with that guy in the window seat who's hacking up a lung.
Michelle's Embellishments
Soprano Michelle Trovato's enterprising side hustle involves creating luxurious handmade capelets, blingy belts, faux fur headbands and scarves, feather collars, hair accessories, and beautiful sleeves for sleeveless dresses --- everything a diva needs to kick it up a notch. She went the extra mile to handcraft a gorgeous teal faux fur wrap for me, and I love it!
