Hi, I'm Alex (Alexandra Rodrick, mezzo-soprano, if you’re fancy),
This is where I share updates on upcoming musical events in which I am performing, details on my solo projects like VAMP (opera is dead), and an occasional thought on the musical process or behind-the-scenes.
I hate a choked inbox, so I will endeavor to keep things brief and informative.
If you don’t already know me, I’m a (mostly) classical and operatic singer, but hold those identifiers loosely.
Personally speaking, I think it’s true: opera is a dying art. Which is exactly why I love it.
I am a great appreciator of all things emo and gothic and that’s often reflected in my solo work. Death, madness, opulence, tragedy, the meaning of life — opera does these things well. So do many, many other genres of music from cabaret to bubblegum pop.
If it’s pulpy, campy, and over-the-top, I will sing it. If it’s understated, mournful, and classy, I will also sing it!
I hope to see you at one of my performances soon!
Your humble servant,
Alex
