‘Blue’ Brings Relatable Topic to Lyric Opera Stage
Adia Evans began singing opera as a teenager. She always loved to sing, for anyone who would listen. With artists as parents, she was encouraged to sing. She attended Baltimore School of the Arts, the same school her parents attended. There, she was introduced to opera by her teacher Robert Cantrell. She really fell in love with opera and has fond memories of seeing Giacomo Puccini’s “Tosca” for the first time.
