Hello, friends— I’m excited to share a new episode of LA Opera’s English-language podcast, Behind the Curtain — a space where I’ve had the joy of joining conversations about music, language, health and culture. In this episode, I talk about something close to my heart — Spanish-language song — in connection with LA Opera’s upcoming production of West Side Story. We explore how this landmark work brought the reality of Spanish-speaking communities to the stage, the cultural and linguistic issues it raises, and why Spanish belongs at the very center of the classical repertoire. 🎧 Listen here → As many of you know, this is my specialty — advocating for Spanish as a living, native language of the United States, and for its rich, diverse repertoire to be embraced by singers, teachers, and audiences everywhere. ✨ And if you’re in Los Angeles, West Side Story is not to be missed. Get your tickets now at LAOpera.org. Let’s keep resonating,
