Culture Crawl 536 “Be Ready All The Time”

Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre presents “Madama Butterfly” January 17 and 19. Kelly Hill, a Quad Cities native who began her opera career as a Young Artist with the Opera, sings the role of Suzuki. Edward Brennan is a current Young Artist, in Cedar Rapids for the very first time, as understudy for the lead role of Lt. Pinkerton.

The two talk about how being extra-prepared has been key to getting breaks in their singing careers, and about what makes the Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre a special organization to perform with.
