Three people, seen from behind, are sitting in the dark at a small white table. Hänsel (Maria Hegele) with dark curly hair on the left, Gertrud (Solgerd Isalv) with straight red hair in the center, and Gretel (Jana Baumeister) with dark hair tied up in two buns. In front of them stands the Hexe (Megan Marie Hart), with long dark wavy hair, in a glittering red dress with wide sleeves and a high black collar, opening red stage curtains and singing with her mouth wide open.

As usual I am always a bit late to the announcement game, but I figured I should announce before my first Premiere of the season this Saturday. I am so lucky to be a part of Noa Naamat’s amazing and epic production of Aida — this has been cathartic for me. I am thankful to be singing my favorite composer and to get to tell Aida’s story again.

Announcement for the 2025/2026 season by Megan Marie Hart. A square image with a dark red background that fades to black in the lower right corner. On the right-hand side is a full-length photograph of a woman with dark hair styled in an updo. She is wearing a red silk petticoat dress with a plunging neckline. Her gaze is directed down at the cream and white text on the left-hand side, which reads:

A dark-haired man with stubble and a mustache hides in a concrete ruin. Outside, on the right, is a woman with long dark hair braided into a single plait. She is moving away from the building and has her head turned to look back at the man. She is wearing a pink top, a dirty and torn pink dress, a dark purple cardigan and sandals. In the background, rubble and a collapsed tower can be seen against a pale pink sky.

Before yesterday’s concert, I made a “Get Ready With Me” video series, and my husband edited it down to a single video lasting just under three minutes! I talk about my concert jewelry and what it means to me, including my custom, handmade resin pieces! (From Amulet of Ashes in the UK. I highly recommend this shop! 💎 https://amuletofashes.com/)

15 minutes until the 4th and LAST performance of our Kain und Abel production! Let's hope it doesn’t take another hundred years before it gets performed again!
