Bring It On: : An Interview with Soprano Joyce El-Khoury
With recent debuts at Glyndebourne and Covent Garden, Joyce El-Khoury is making a name for herself as a versatile soprano who can bring her characters—big or small—to life. Her path to stardom has been neither easy nor typical, with many detours and delays along the way—like during years of being bullied as a child or when she applied to graduate schools but only got accepted to one and without scholarships. Always one to step up to the plate, El-Khoury has used her self-described grit and hard work to turn seeming setbacks to her advantage—and there’s no holding her back now.
