Michelle Veenemans - Dramatic Coloratura Soprano fulfilling dreams by doing it her way.
Dramatic Coloratura Soprano, Michelle Veenemans is talking about her career as a singer in South Africa. She started singing already at the age of 3 with her mum who is the well known Soprano Barbara Veenemans. Michelle started her career as opera singer at the time when the State Theatre in Pretoria closed down and she felt she lost out on singing for the productions of PACT (Performing arts councel). She does however see a positive that came about in our digital times and that is that it is much easier for artists to do recordings of their work. Michelle created her own platform by doing concerts and this is her way of being able to full fill her dream of being able to sing Opera. She also gives advice for young singers in South Africa on how to have a career as opera singers even though there are not many training opportunities and most young singers would only be able to have a career as opera singers if they leave the country to go to Europe.
It is once again so wonderful to hear how artists in South Africa keep classical singing and opera alive and the positive attitude of singers like Michelle is truly inspiring.
