About
Album cover for "Some of my Stories: the Operas of Monica Pearce" by Essential Opera. On a dark grey background with a tilted olive green arch, a pink shelf tilts the opposite way, and a bunch of objects are flying in every direction: an old-fashioned microphone, a bike bell, a martini, a ring in a display box, and a slice of cake on a tray.
Available Now
Wide shot of Erin with luggage in a winter coat, crossing a roadway at an airport with a rainbow painted crosswalk. This is a still from the opera film "December"
