"It’s going to sound morbid, but that's one of my favorite things to do on stage. When I have a death scene I really like it. Because it's a part of life," she says."It’s only difficult if I’m not being respectful of what it means."is the story of the courtesan Violetta who's in love with Alfredo, a man of good family. She abandons her former life but his father persuades her to give up Alfredo for the good of their family's reputation.
Clue and her family often traveled to Texas in the summers, she says, as part of his ministry. Her father was her voice coach from age 6 until she was about 14. She ended up at a special high school for the arts in Los Angeles and eventually went to UCLA for her master's.. In middle school, high school and college she also did some musical theater, but it was opera that continued to attract her attention.
This production has the singers in full 19th Century garb — corsets, petticoats, crinolines — which can make it tricky to negotiate on a stage, while actiing and singing at the same time, she says. Thanks to some on-the-job training she got at the Royal Opera House in London in her first stint as Violetta, she's able to handle it.
