Discover Brooke deRosa: Soprano and Composer Behind Original Operas

Good afternoon, fellow Book Dragons. I’m sorry I’ve been MIA for a while. I posted my latest interview with my friend and composer Brooke deRosa. The interview was shared on “Becca’s Book TALKS” on YouTube. It was posted on May 7. I just published it on the website under the tab “Becca’s Book TALKS”. I’m sharing it here on the blog as well. I met Brooke during the autumn production of “The Mikado.” We both performed with the Ventura County Gilbert and Sullivan Repetoire Company. I performed again in the spring production of “Iolanthe”. Brooke is a quadruple talent as a soprano, composer, conductor and filmmaker. She creates original operatic works from original written works in the public domain. Examples include “The Monkey’s Paw” and her latest work on “The Yellow Wallpaper”. She also created a few film scores, and has been featured on Netflix. As an avid reader, we explore the authors and stories that influenced her life and operatic and musical scores. We also discussed her fascination with the macabre. Her musical influences include “Phantom” and “Indiana Jones”. Check out the interview here or under the tab “Becca’s Book TALKS” on my website: https://youtu.be/zgqeRnc_Gxk?si=yuOMaVkAqDiGyRRa.
