EP65 The Opera isn´t over until Adda sings - Arnheiður Eiríksdóttir

The Bla Bla Bunker - A podcast by Almar Hilmarsson

Arnheiður Eiríksdóttir (Adda) is an Icelandic mezzo-soprano Opera singer who sings at various opera houses in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. We talked about all things Opera, how her performance angst that she had from playing Piano disappeared when she got a microphone in her hand, how complicated Opera can be as you need to act, move and sing all at the same time as hearing the music. How she once did not speak a word for 3 weeks and wrote everything she needed to communicate down on a paper! We discussed money in Opera, #metoo, when she toured with Björk, how it is to sing at funerals, state support for the Opera and why that is needed, what are the biggest fears of an Opera singer and much much more. https://www.instagram.com/arnheidureiriks/ https://www.narodni-divadlo.cz/en/profile/arnheidur-eiriksdottir-1633489
