Frank & Friends Show 0083

Frank Murphy is joined by opera singer and executive Kathryn Frady. Kathryn says she remembered how to sit up straight on camera and was complimented for it when doing another video interview. 

Frank made a YouTube short of Kathryn singing at Moonshine Mountain Coaster. His friend Bean used the audio during the intro of an episode of the podcast A Cup of Tea and a Chat. He also made shorts with video clips of Jeff Detrow and Nate Evans. 

Kathryn was mentioned on the podcast Quitters Never Give Up. They played a clip of Kathryn’s story about the man who showed up at her office to tell her that he wrote her an angry email but didn’t send it. 

One of Kathryn’s employees at Opéra Louisiane admitted to “stalking” her online before Kathryn was hired. She discovered that Kathryn was “fabulous.” 

Kathryn staged an opera performance of Bon Appetit paired with Leonard Bernstein’s The Four Recipes in Baton Rouge last week. The libretto comes from an episode of The French Chef, starring Julia Child. 

Frank used to watch The French Chef when he was young. His sister once baked a Bacardi Rum Cake that was photographed for magazine ads and a recipe card. Frank met Julia Child when he booked her for an interview on KLOS-FM. Frank and his wife saw Julia Child’s kitchen in a museum. 

Kathryn Frady, Whitney Wells, and Kayla Beard will sing in a concert called Stalactites, Sopranos, and Stilettos on Sunday, September 18, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. inside Historic Cherokee Caverns. They will sing some opera arias and some musical theater songs. Tickets are $15 and are on sale at https://www.marblecityopera.com/tickets 

Frank points out that Kathryn is half-British and has dual citizenship. King Charles III declared September 19 to be a bank holiday because of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. Since banks are closed and school is canceled in England, Frank thinks Kathryn should be obligated to cancel the Marble City Opera board meeting that day. 

Kathryn has an apartment in downtown Baton Rouge. The building has a rooftop pool. Her dog Sasha is becoming a city dog when living in Baton Rouge. 

Kathryn enjoys eating gulf fish like yellowtail and redfish. Her new favorite restaurant is Cecelia Creole Bistro, which serves boudin balls. The restaurant also serves Sazerac Rye. Frank texted Kathryn when he had a Sazerac in Michigan last week. 

Kathryn has a full schedule of performances and events in Knoxville, Santa Fe, Baton Rouge, and Huntsville.
