How can someone like Jake Heggie, with such a phenomenal creative gift, world class talent and immortal body of work - make talking to world class opera singers seem like a conversation you could jump in on if it happened across the table from you at a Denny’s? The answer is that his true super power is his giant generous heart. I believe that like attracts like. In a genre so often maligned for its pretense, “Sing Louder” demystifies the mystique meant to separate the artists from the “common folk” and reminds us all that the creative spirit, the courage to follow your calling and persevere despite obstacles you face and to collaborate joyfully, is a valuable treasure whether you’re a classical musician or an off tune Whistler. As a classical singer, creative, and normal human being; I’m just so glad to have discovered this podcast!
