As a singer myself, I've always wondered -- how do you (and opera singers in general) deal with unexpected mucus/dust/tickle in throat or having to cough while performing? I've never once seen or heard an opera singer clear their throats on stage or stop in the middle of a phrase to clear their cords. Is this just a well cultivated skill not to do this on stage?

Any plans to teach voice privately at some point soon? Or maybe once you've retired from full time performing...?

Haha, wonderful -- thank you!!

When you were a young singer, did your voice ever tire after practicing just one aria, or did you always have innate vocal stamina that just got stronger with experience?

Favorite pre-performance food?
