Dorothy Kirsten: High C Demands Hard Work and Golf Keeps Her Sharp
New York based opera star Dorothy Kirsten says singing a high C is like lifting a 500 pound weight and that the emotional drain limits heavy roles to every few days. She credits golf with rhythm and breathing training, travels 75k to 100k miles yearly, and relies on husband Dr. John D B French for happiness. Kirsten quit the Met temporarily for family reasons but returned in an emergency last year and now commutes between Manhattan and California, maintaining 30 roles in her repertoire with constant self-improvement each summer.
