We first met soprano Susanna Phillips in the summer of 2010, when she was a young artist at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont. Her career has skyrocketed since then. She's been singing roles in major opera houses around the world. Today, Susanna joins host Fred Child for music and conversation in the PT studios. She'll sing three French songs from her new CD.
