Yesterday, before teaching a student, I was reading the tribute panels in Ovation Hall at OPERA America’s National Opera Center. I was fondly remembering one of my most special voice teachers and mentors, Phyllis Curtin, and was wondering if she had a panel when it appeared! I was so touched and delighted to see her longtime friend and collaborator, the recently passed, Carlisle Floyd, was who honored her. Phyllis would share such warm stories of Carlisle Floyd and their work on Susannah together in lessons when I would get the courage to bring in the arias written for her. After one of the last work sessions I had with Phyllis on the Susannah arias she said, “She belongs to you now.” I only knew Carlisle Floyd through Phyllis and I was in his presence maybe once or twice. That being said, I have been deeply moved on many occasions by the entire opera of Susannah and I’ve barely gotten through Ain’t It A Pretty Night in several concerts as the swell of emotion from the beauty of Carlisle Floyd’s writing almost brought me to emotional ends. Thank you, Carlisle Floyd, for your contributions. Thank you, Phyllis, for sharing your stories and Susannah with me. #nationaloperacenter #operaamerica #carlislefloyd #phylliscurtin #susannahopera #voiceteachersofinstagram #voiceteacher #heatherpetruzelli

I am so excited to begin to use my social media presence to lift one of my students. I am following the lead of several other colleagues such as @atalexagreen, @kdbstudionyc , and @innovativevoice and I am so inspired! The fabulously talented Sami Griffith @sami.griffith is the first of my wonderful students that I am highlighting. Sami is one of the most hard working performers I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. She always brings humor, grace, specificity, and creativity to her work. I am honored to have been a part of her growth and look forward to supporting her moving forward.
