- Mar 20, 2023
Puccini is one of Michelle Bradley’s favorite composers, and she’s in San Diego to sing his Tosca for the San Diego Opera company. We were originally scheduled to talk in person, but a rehearsal change meant Zoom was going to work better for an hour discussion.
“I'm happy to be back, and I know that everyone's happy to have me back because I've been treated warmly as always.
