Favorite Quotes:

“Opera works, because a large number of things amazingly fail to go wrong.” (Salzella, Maskerade)

Favorite backstage snack:
everything! (except liquorice)

Actor’s Nausea in three words:
fun, mad, team

The hardest part so far:
compile the cast, because you have to not only think about who is best in which part, but also (and this is the hardest part) how the cast works as a whole

The best part so far:
moments when you observe that the audience is lost in the atmospere and does not notice anymore that on the floor above the stage is a wedding 🙂 and of course being director for the first time and realising that everything works and everything comes together in the end

Funfact:
she has a serious need to feed all her actors with pie, muffins and cake, so noone is hungry backstage
