Tytania, Queen of the Fairies

Good evening!

It is opening night and I am thrilled! We had a wonderful and receptive audience tonight and it felt great! To the right is a fantastic photo of Tytania and her Fairies by David Cooper.

We had a lovely time. Check out our trailer:

All my best from the West!!

Combining the love of singing/classical music and running

Greetings from Victoria, BC Canada!

I am currently out here rehearsing for Midsummer Nights Dream with Pacific Opera Victoria. I am singing the role of Tytania and am having a blast. What some people don't know, is that I am also out here doing some different kind of training as well! I am training for my third Half Marathon!

CIBC Run for a cure in Nov. 2015

So to give you a bit of an update: I just signed up and am raising funds for Symphony Nova Scotia at the Bluenose Half Marathon (21.1km) in Halifax, NS on May 22nd, 2016. 

Every dollar I raise goes to helping their Community Outreach and Educational Outreach programs. This is something I hold near and dear to my heart because my mother and retired music teacher was very involved in while she was teaching. The kids had so many wonderful opportunities to interact with the symphony as well as it helps them get out into the community and perform for new audiences. This is how we can better our community and reach more people. 

Please consider donating to my campaign. I receive nothing out of it, except knowing that I was able to give back in some small way to a community and cause that I love. 

Here is my fundraising page: Soprano For the Symphony

I will keep my Facebook page: Suzanne Rigden Coloratura Soprano updated for people to follow my training and my fundraising. My goal is 500$, but I hope to surpass that if at all possible. Any amount helps! 5$, 10$ or perhaps 21$ to pay a dollar a kilometre! 

Thank you for all of your support thus far of my career and my travel endeavours! Stay tuned for more fun news! 

Happy Trails!
