Die Fledermaus’s Joyce El-Khoury

Joyce was featured in the Georgia Straight in Vancouver, BC, in advance of her performances as Rosalinde with Vancouver Opera. She talks about the importance of the anti-bullying movement, her past and her career.

Here’s a snippet:

“For El-Khoury, of course, singing was the way out. Though the bullying had taken a toll on her self-esteem and she suffered severe shyness, she always had a remarkable voice. “Singing for me was the only thing I could do in my classes that no one else could do. That’s where I was untouchable,” she recalls.”
