As of now, there are still tickets available in all price categories for tomorrow’s Aida, so if you’re interested in going, get them quickly!
(Our production will be performed only three more times in Darmstadt (including tomorrow), after which it will go to the Finnish National Opera in Helsinki.)

Ellis Island is an island in New York Harbor, within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Owned by the U.S. government, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there; as many as two-fifths of Americans may be descended from these immigrants. It has been part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument since 1965 and is accessible to the public only by ferry. The north side of the island is a national museum of immigration, while the south side of the island, including the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is open to the public through guided tours.

Tomorrow evening, I’ll be singing a bit from Aida at the New Year’s reception of the “Lilien,” officially known as SV 98 Darmstadt! The party starts at six, and we’ll be on the big stage about an hour and a half later!

Before yesterday’s concert, I made a “Get Ready With Me” video series, and my husband edited it down to a single video lasting just under three minutes! I talk about my concert jewelry and what it means to me, including my custom, handmade resin pieces! (From Amulet of Ashes in the UK. I highly recommend this shop! 💎 https://amuletofashes.com/)
