Professional Opera Singer Reacts to "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone

Video Description

SFCM Professor of Voice Rhoslyn Jones reacts to the song "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone. Described as a “superb singer and artistic presence,” Rhoslyn Jones has established herself as an important presence on the operatic and concert stages of the world. Equally at home on the stage and in the teaching studio, Rhoslyn is the newly appointed voice teacher for the San Francisco Opera Adler Fellows. She is also on the faculty of the San Francisco Opera Merola Program and the Chautauqua Institute in New York state. Career highlights include multiple roles at San Francisco Opera including covering Tosca in their new production of Puccini’s masterpiece, Manon Lescaut, Madame Lidoine in Dialogues of the Carmelites, and Strauss’ Elektra where Ms. Jones stood out as the “compassionate Fifth Maidservant, singing in a shimmering, ringing soprano.” As Musetta in La Boheme at both Arizona Opera and Pittsburgh Opera, “her true genius vocally came through in the final scene when she reunites the near-death Mimi with Rodolfo. Her voice was powerful and nuanced, particularly in the upper register, but it was the sheer humanity she brought to the scene that earned her the audience’s resounding applause.” The original video, "Beautiful Things" by @BensonBoone https://youtu.be/Oa_RSwwpPaA?si=qk9ngntFjFuQWicY https://sfcm.edu/study/faculty/rhoslyn-jones https://sfcm.edu/ Connect with us on Social Media: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sfconservmusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sfconservmusic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SanFranciscoConservatoryOfMusic Twitter: https://twitter.com/SFConservMusic LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/school/san-francisco-conservatory-of-music/
