Becoming Marguerite

Young Artist in Residence Elizabeth Zharoff joins host Fred Child in the PT studios again today. She talks about the joys and challenges of singing opera. "There's so much you can find out about yourself when you're trying to become another person." In today's show, Zharoff assumes the role of Marguerite, singing excerpts from Charles Gounod's "Faust."
