Ep. 23/ Empowering Young Opera Singers
A conversation with operatic soprano & Tarot Reader, Vee Visnov
In this episode of Music on Mushrooms, I sit down with the immensely talented Vee Visnov (they/them), a New York City-based soprano and tarot reader who has been making waves both on and off the opera stage. With a Bachelor’s in Vocal Performance from the Crane School of Music, Vee’s resume includes operatic roles in productions like Die Fledermaus, Don Giovanni, and La Bohème. They’ve also received accolades as a finalist in the Music International Grand Prix and second prize winner in the Charleston International Music Competition.
But Vee’s journey isn’t just about the music—it’s about empowerment, self-expression, and forging a creative path that’s uniquely their own. Together, we explore the defining moments in Vee’s opera career and discovering their passion for the art form. They share candid advice for young singers navigating the challenges of building a career in opera, as well as practical tips for finding performance opportunities, cultivating resilience, and staying inspired.
Vee also dives into their passion for tarot reading, revealing how spiritual practices like divination have helped them stay grounded. They offer guidance for new tarot readers looking to build confidence and develop a distinctive style, discussing spirituality in a way that’s both fascinating and empowering.
