Autorenporträt
Yolanda Prieto Grimaldi was born in Mexico City and grew up in a family of opera singers. At an early age, seeing Maria Callas perform at the Teatro Bellas Artes, cemented her life-long passion for opera. Her own dreams of becoming a professional singer were sidelined, sending her on a journey of career reinventions - from working for the United Nations to teaching children music and languages. She has lived in Mexico City, New York, Toronto, Milan - and now Stratford, Canada, where she currently resides and writes.
