Meet a DragonDiva - Kayla Matzen


Kayla Matzen
Grace
 


Name: Kayla Matzen

Voice Type (if a singer): Soprano

Role: One of the Graces

Hometown: Williams Lake


Is this your first time performing with DragonDiva?

No, I have performed in their past productions of Iolanthe and HMS Pinafore

Favourite thing about the role you are playing in Old Maid and the Thief?

The role is extremely different from anything I have ever done. However, the music feels wonderful to sing and the choreo is SO fun to dance!
 
Where did you find inspiration for your role?

Watching old Andrew Sister’s videos ;P

Favourite part of Old Maid and the Thief?

Chiquita Banana (but it is a surprise!)

What attracted you to the operatic stage?

It is extremely fun to sing, especially when I am singing with friends!

How would you describe opera to someone who has never seen one?

This opera would be a great introduction to opera, the music is relatable and the plot is hilarious!

A lot of singers and actors have day jobs…do you?

I have just finished my Bachelors of Education and will be teaching music lessons in Squamish in September.

Do you have a secret talent other than singing?

Knitting! I love to knit!
