American dramatic soprano Heidi Melton is currently in Toronto to sing Sieglinde in Atom Egoyan’s upcoming production of Die Walküre at the Canadian Opera Company. She was lovely, and kind enough to talk about singing Wagnerian roles, and the slow burn that is Der Ring des Nibelungen.

Die Walküre runs at the Four Seasons Centre from January 31st-February 22nd. Click right here for details and to purchase tickets.
