How to overcome stage fright? Go out into the street and busk. Sing a traditional Irish tune like „Oh Danny Boy“ or Schubert’s „Ave Maria“. Passers-by will get as close to you as no stage performance would ever allow. Alone with your tin box for the coins you experience praise and approval up close as well as ignorance and disdain. This is almost the opening line in Louise’s first interview and her approach to life on stage. She experienced busking herself and you can tell she enjoyed it. I feel extremely privileged that Bonn’s highly praised lyric soprano grants me two hours of her precious time in the middle of rehearsing for her debut as Sophie in Richard Strauss‘ Der Rosenkavalier.
