"Now you have something to talk about at Thanksgiving." This comment highlights her ability to maintain a positive outlook in challenging situations, reminding attendees that even inconveniences can transform into memorable moments. Her approach underscores the adaptability required in the arts and how creativity can shine in adversity.
Washington National Opera is not just riding on the waves of recent performances; it’s actively shaping the future of opera with initiatives like the American Opera Initiative, which Zambello initiated to nurture new talent. With WNO's recent presentations of innovative operas such as Blue and Grounded, the company embraces contemporary issues and diverse storytelling. Zambello firmly believes that today's opera must evolve to remain relevant.
