Jennifer Larmore was one of my first opera idols, and I am so privileged to sit down with her for this episode of Technique Talks.

With her frequent collaborator Antoine Palloc, she has made many International recital tours at major cities throughout the world, as well as all the major American venues. Symphonic repertoire plays a large role in this mezzo’s career and she has enjoyed great collaborations with world orchestras under the direction of Muti, Bernstein, Runnicles, Masur, Barenboim, Bonynge, Maazel, and Osawa, to name a few.
Miss Larmore is widely known for teaching and giving master classes at the most prestigious conservatories and major cities throughout the world. Miss Larmore lives in Paris with her husband and little Opera dog Buffy.
