Why risk it all by moving to LA to follow your dream of being a professional opera singer? Stephanie DePrez explains why she sees it as a form of service to create beauty for the audience. "When all of the pieces have been put together, it’s not only these amazing sounds, but it’s also using the tools of human language in the midst of a narrative, and to be able to give that gift, when it is all done correctly, it feels like a form of service," she shares.
