Last weekend we wrote about the 36th annual Richard Tucker Gala, a celebratory concert that bears witness to the long legacy of its founder and to toast its 2011 awardee, American soprano Angela Meade.

We wanted to hear more from Meade, who made her professional debut three years ago at The Metropolitan Opera, about finishing such an important year of career development.

In an exclusive interview, she talked to us all about bel canto styles, singing Norma, the dangers of burning out, future roles, and most curiously -- what's she going to do with that 30K Richard Tucker award?!
