A Personal Note from the Queen of Opera

🖋 A Note from the Desk of the Queen of Opera:

Dear friends, family, fans, and loyal listeners—

I wanted to take a quiet moment to reach out personally and share something close to my heart. If you’re reading this, you’re part of the collective journey I’ve been on—whether you’ve just discovered my music or have followed my work for years.

Today, I want to take you behind the scenes. I want to give you a deeper look into how Ferruccio—my latest single—was born. Not just the song, but the soul behind it. Where it truly began.

Because the truth is, Ferruccio did not begin as a story. It began as a song. A piano sketch, composed by the brilliant Sion Trefor. Finished, almost. Complete without me.

But the first time I heard it, I was swept in. There was something in its phrasing—beautiful, steady, dreamlike… and yet unmistakably sorrowful. It sounded like a lullaby.

That’s where it began. One word: Спи. (“Spee”) , meaning: “sleep,’ in Russian. .

That word came from the deeply moving aria Maria’s Lullaby in Tchaikovsky’s opera Mazepa—a piece that left a mark on me. Much like Ferruccio, it’s a lullaby wrapped in sadness. A final whisper. A love cradled at the edge of parting. And from that single word… a story began to emerge.

Over the next four years, the song sat quietly. We let it breathe. We let it wait. And in that stillness, something deeper began to form—something that had nothing to do with Mazepa, and everything to do with the world we were creating.

A man named Ferruccio. A composer. A widower. Dying slowly.

And the woman who loves him—singing softly:

“Sleep, my dear… sleep.”

Not just a lullaby.

A farewell.

That one word—спи—became the heartbeat of an entire opera. And from that, an opera series.

A universe.

A legacy.

Though the song itself was finished long ago, releasing it now means more to me than I can put into words. This isn’t just a single—it’s the beginning. The first breath of something we’ve quietly been building in the background for years.

And in that silence, something deeper revealed itself: The heartbeat of a much larger universe. A story was born. Then an opera. Then a legacy.

What’s to come:

Set in 18th-century Venice, the opera Ferruccio follows a reclusive composer drawn into the orbit of a mysterious patroness. Her voice awakens his music—but also a dangerous truth. As their bond deepens, secrets unravel, and love becomes entangled with fate.

In a city ruled by masks and music, beauty is survival—and silence is never empty.

I’m sharing all of this with you not just as an artist, but as a woman on a journey—creating something that could only live because of the people who believe in it. Because of you.

Your presence, your words, and your continued support have shaped every note of this path. And for the first time, I feel it’s right to bring you into this moment as it unfolds. Not after it’s done—but now. In real time.

This part of my journey as the Queen of Opera no longer belongs behind closed doors.

It deserves light.

And together, that’s how it will grow.

With all my heart,

D’Andrea Pelletier

The Queen of Opera
