Instant Opera

Instant Opera was born out of my love for improv comedy and singing opera. I love doing both, and thought, “Why not combine the two?”
I trained as a classical singer at the Cleveland Institute of Music, in improv at the Annoyance Theater in Chicago, and now here we are!

Now, ahem, an Official Bio:
