Sarah Coburn Chats About Motherhood in the Opera World

Soprano Sarah Coburn is interviewed in Cincinnati where she is currently singing the role of Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto. One of the more interesting questions:
Q: How do you prepare these days for the stress of going onstage in the leading role?
A: It is much easier than before baby...Now, instead of sitting around worrying all day on opening night, I am spending the day blowing bubbles and watching Elmo's Potty Time. How can you be a nervous wreck when you've got Grover's Accidents Happen song stuck in your head?
