“There are no short cuts for learning how to sing. It takes hard work, time and patience,” she says.
Marchio, who has had a long, career, has met many wonderful people and has been afforded many opportunities, says she loved performing in Italy – “the land of the opera”.
She made her Italian debut in the title role of Puccini’s Suor Angelica at the Roman Amphitheatre in Benevento, but she says it takes a lifetime to accumulate a curriculum like hers.
