Bibliography Events Myrtle on the Web Guestbook Finding the truth is not enough. What we also have to find is justice.                                ~Rigoberta Menchu Carmella Jones Tuesday, 01 July 2008 Carmella Jones began her career as many opera stars do not: as a nurse with over 12 years in the profession, seven spent working with high-risk pregnancies in the labor and delivery ward in a Los Angeles hospital. Raised in a religious, work-class Southern Californian family, she was not allowed to consider a career in classical music. Her family instead insisted upon service oriented work as a doctor, a nurse, a social worker or a teacher. She therefore majored in biochemistry. Her skill at nursing afforded her vocal lessons. While working full-time as a perinatal specialist, she continued studying voice. In 1993, Jones receive a call from the Los Angeles Philharmonic to sub in Seven Popular Songs by Manuel de Falla. She took a week of sick leave to memorize the songs and made a successful debut. That chance occurrence led to regular engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Opera. Anyone who has heard her sing in numerous roles knows that to call her a mezzo-soprano is to rob her of the categories of her other ranges. She has performed such roles as Azucena, Lady Macbeth, Carmen, Baba the Turk, Adalgisa, Amneris, Santuzza, Ariadne (Strauss), Tosca, and Ortrud. She has performed with the Los Angeles Opera, L'Opera de Montreal, Netherlands Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Minnesota Opera, Cincinnati Opera, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Washington Choral Society, Tulsa Philharmonic, and San Jose Symphony. But get this: Carmella Jones still hasn't abandoned nursing -- she works part-time at Los Angeles County General Hospital.
