"-What do you especially look for in the singers? – I'm looking for the "shimmer factor". That word I received from Jackie Reardon, whom I have worked with for ten years. She is a sports psychologist and coach for athletes and business people. We realized that what we both are looking for is something we call the shimmer factor. How do you choose among ten very good sopranoes? There is a kind of glow we are looking for. It does not necessarily have to be an aggressive form of energy. Some people have an energy that is rather inverted. One such is the incredible Aphrodite Patoulidou who will sing Anne Truelove in the Rake's Progress." @hannigan.barbara for Opus magasin, Sweden Photo by @matsbacker #thankyou #thankyousomuch #trust #barbarahannigan #opusmagasin #Backstage #shimmer #therakesprogress #annetruelove #gothenburg #liveyourdreamρε #liveyourdream #liveandletlive #gratitudeisthebestattitude
