Episode 18, National Hispanic Heritage Week One: Austin Opera welcomes back Mexican mezzo-soprano Claudia Chapa!

Then, Claudia steps inside our studio at Indy Terrace and closes with two selections accompanied by pianist Maimy Fong.
More on our Special Guest Artist:
Celebrated for her “arresting stage presence” coupled with “exquisite sensitivity,” Mexican Claudia Chapa is a versatile performer in high demand across the nation. This season, Ms. Chapa made her Houston Grand Opera debut originating the role of Josefina in the world premiere of El Milagro del Recuerdo, a role she will reprise in her debut with Arizona Opera in 2020-2021 (now postponed due to COVID-19). Other highlights this season include recording Handel’s Messiah with the Royal Philharmonic at the famed Abbey Roads Studios, a return to Alabama Symphony as a featured soloist in El amor brujo (de Falla) and Neruda Songs (Lieberson), and house and role debuts as Fenena (Nabucco) with West Bay Opera.
