Warning: You might become an opera stan ✨🎭
Hi, I’m Cait 👋 I run Scores Unstitched, where the opera may be old, but you don’t have to be. I’m a professional opera singer turned YouTuber, and now I help people fall in love with opera without all the dusty lectures. Yes, I’ve got the fancy degree (Master’s of Performance in Operatic Performance from the Royal College of Music if you MUST know) and professional experience to back it all up—but mostly, I just love helping people discover this beautiful art form. 🤎

From Scores Unstitched. Brb, taking notes. 🤓 DISCLAIMER: My entire channel is based on the premise that opera deserves to be more popular.
