Emily Pulley
Desirée Armfeldt
- Where were you born and raised?
Born in Jackson, Mississippi, but we moved to College Station, Texas when I was 2 months old and still have our family home there. - If you weren’t a singer, what profession would you be in?
There was a time when I seriously considered becoming a CIA analyst. But now I think I would probably be an English Lit or rhetoric professor. - The first opera I was ever in was…
Micaela in Carmen with Amarillo Opera (I was a student at WTAMU, just down the road). I call it my professional debut, if you’re allowed to consider getting reimbursed for gas professional. - My favorite opera is…
To sing: La Fanciulla del West. Overall: Peter Grimes or Billy Budd. - My favorite food to cook is…
I’ve gotta say, chips and queso (and not anything fancy—just plain ol’ Velveeta and RO*TEL tomatoes). - People would be surprised to know that…
I am a First Class Girl Scout (equivalent to Eagle Scout). - If I could spend a ‘weekend in the country’ anywhere, real or fantasy, I would travel to…
Narnia, of course. - I like to binge-watch…
QI and Upstart Crow (on BritBox), True Facts (on YouTube), pretty much any British detective series. - What four people (living or deceased) would you like to invite for a dinner party?
C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Terry Pratchett, and Michael Palin. - Everyone should see A Little Night Music because….
The words and music are beyond brilliant. And I can pretty much guarantee that it will make your own love life seem far less complicated by comparison. - Bonus: One question you wish someone would ask you (and the answer)
Q: Who are the three coolest people you’ve ever gotten to hang out with?
A: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, George H.W. Bush, and Roger Waters (not all at the same time).
