Kirsten Larson
Lola, Cavalleria Rusticana
Mezzo-soprano
- Where were you born and raised?
I was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin and spent most of my childhood in Denmark, Wisconsin. - If you weren’t a singer, what profession would you be in?
When I’m not performing, I work as a computer programmer! Programming is like a complex logic puzzle, and like opera requires a working knowledge of multiple languages. - The first opera I was ever in was…
The Pirates of Penzance. - My favorite opera is…
Lucia di Lammermoor. (Who doesn’t love a good mad scene?) - My favorite food to eat is…
Anything involving Buffalo chicken. - People would be surprised to know…
I once worked as a Page on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington D.C. - If I could travel anywhere, real or fantasy, I would travel to…
Thailand. - I like to binge-watch…
Grey’s Anatomy. - What four people (living or deceased) would you like to invite for a dinner party?
Joyce DiDonato, Emma Watson, Barrack Obama, and Robin Williams. - Everyone should see Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci because….
It has something for everyone! The two operas complement each other very well, and the shared theme of revenge is seen through two contrasting perspectives.
