KMFA host Dianne Donovan had the honor of interviewing the world-renowned American mezzo-soprano, Denyce Graves, who is in town to perform with the Austin Symphony Orchestra this Friday and Saturday night (March 2nd & 3rd). Dianne played some excerpts from this interview on Classical Austin, but there was much more that we wanted to include it here.
Some of the topics included: Which singer has had the most impact on Denyce Graves’ life? Does she have a favorite role? Is there a difference between singing opera and performing in recital or concert? Does she have a routine or ritual before a performance? What was one of the most unusual and inspiring moments she has had performing?
