Your big opportunity
could happen at any time
and that timing might not be ideal.
Shortly after giving birth,
opera singer
Sonya Yoncheva
was given a chance of a lifetime.
In May’s American Way,
she shares
“I was walking along Lake Geneva
with my newborn and my family
when I received the call.
The Metropolitan Opera had lost their Mimi
and wanted to know if I could step in.
I had only a few minutes to decide.
I’ve always wanted to sing Mimi
and this was one of the best productions
on one of the best stages in the world.
So I went for it.
The hardest part
was getting a passport and US visa
for my baby,
but we did it in only five days.
When you want something,
you have to go for it.”
