Jordan made a name for herself as a Cabaret singer in Seattle, Washington as a resident performer at the Baltic Room. There patrons would hear her sing opera, jazz, original songs, and show tunes.
Juan Oncina/Tatiana Menotti: Maestro Oncina is a legendary
tenor who has performed with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Luciano Pavarotti,
Alfredo Kraus, Mirella Freni, Maria Callas, and the list goes on.
He met his wife, (Tatiana Menotti), on the set of l'elisir d'amore in 1942 at
La Scala in Milan. Juan taught me the value of singing from the heart.
I strongly believe that the passing of musical traditions from teacher
to student keeps opera alive.
Judith Natalucci: Judith has worked with Oren Brown of NYSTA, and has students in all of the major opera houses, including the Met and La Scala.
