Sheila Christie – soprano

This past Thursday was closing night of Vancouver Opera’s Carmen. I start rehearsals for Rigoletto on Tuesday. I am so excited to be doing the role of Giovanna in VO’s production! As promised, here are some pictures from the backstage of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre from the run of Carmen.

Here is my dressing room table – a tad messy!

Heidi Krutzen’s harp case – it lives backstage with us. I LOVE seeing this!

Thanks for stopping by! I will be blogging about my experiences doing a role in Rigoletto over the next month. Opening night of Rigoletto happens on March 7.
