Participant Testimonials:

Helena was a master - she was organized, knew exactly what she wanted to do, was prepared to include appropriate videos. And, clearly, she knew her material.

It was a real treat to participate as Helena shared her deep experience and obvious affection for operatic theater. I felt very lucky to have this opportunity!
