Janice's operatic repertoire has included the title roles of Lucia di Lammermoor, Madama Butterfly, and Salome, as well as multiple roles in the operatic version of Tony Kushner's play Angels in America. She was Violetta in the New York City Opera's Emmy-winning PBS telecast of La Traviata. In addition to singing, Janice has also performed with several New York City theater companies, and at the NY International Fringe Festival. She made her off-Broadway debut in 2012 in My Occasion of Sin at Urban Stages Theater. View Janice's website at www.janice-hall.com
