About June
Studio Opus grew from a lifelong love of music.
I have been singing for as long as I can remember. That love eventually led me to study voice at university for six years and later to masterclasses with extraordinary artists including Renato Bruson, Mirella Freni and Grace Bumbry.
A masterclass with Grace Bumbry became three years of studying with her. What I learned went far beyond singing – her influence shaped not only the way I understood music, but also the way I see life.
Over time, I stepped away from singing, but music never left my life. I discovered a different kind of joy in opera: simply listening, watching and letting great singers tell the story.
Then a thought occurred to me.
When we travel, we bring home small things to remember the places we have been and how they made us feel.
Opera is a journey too – a journey into another world. So why not bring something back?
That thought became Studio Opus.
I started with mugs – simple, everyday objects carrying a small piece of an opera, a character, a melody or a memory.
One day, I hope Studio Opus will grow into complete tableware collections inspired by music.
For now, it begins with a cup.
