Nicole and Adam

For this BGS performance, Nicole and Adam share some of their Spanish language songs that they perform together as part of two school programs offered by Central City Opera: “En Mis Palabras” and “¡Fiesta! Spanish-language opera, zarzuela, and art song”. It’s a way for Spanish-speaking children to discover that operas can be fun and relevant to them.

Nicole’s recent roles include Frida Kahlo in Frida Kahlo and the Bravest Girl in the World with and Mother (cover) in Amahl and the Night Visitors with Central City Opera, Woman 1 in Unbreakable with the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus, La Frugola, La Zia Principessa and Zita in Il Trittico with Lamont Opera Theater and Dinah in Trouble in Tahiti with Denver Immersive Opera.
