Hogfish Resonance host Hillary Webb interviews 2022 and 2023 artist-in-residence, soprano Maria Brea, during the fall of 2022 in between her two residencies. The conversation starts off with Maria sharing her incredible story of first falling in love with opera in her home country of Venezuela and her journey to becoming a successful opera singer currently living in the United States.

Hillary and Maria then dive into what makes the Hogfish regenerative artist residency so special, what it is like to be a singer in the opera business today, and why and how the Hogfish regenerative arts residency is seeking to create positive change in the lives of our artists, our audiences, and the industry at large.
