In 2006, Dolora Zajick created the Institute for Young Dramatic Voices to address the lack of training for large, dramatic voices required for the great roles of the Verdi, Strauss and Wagner repertoire.
THE OTHER DOLORA
Dolora finds outlets for her creativity in many activities beyond her singing: offstage, she’s an accomplished visual artist, gardener and possesses a fascination with the science of music.
