Opera Singer (with Chelsea Friedlander)

Half Hour Intern

Have you ever considered how difficult it must be to be a live stage performer? You have to brave getting up on a stage, bright lights abound, all eyes focused on you. You have to remember your lines, so many lines. Life for the actor or actress can be pretty scary. And if you’re an opera performer like today’s guest thats only the start of it. The lines that Chelsea needs to memorize are typically in a foreign language that she doesn’t know. Then, when she gets on stage, she has to sing her lines in perfect pitch, and in such a booming way that without amplification it fills the entire theatre. It takes a lot of training to be able to do what Chelsea does, and she’ll tell us all about it.
