Name: Vincent Kurniawidjaja 
Grade: 11 

Opera Activities: Vincent has participated in the LA Opera 90012 program. 

Opera Character: Vincent chose to recreate the image of Sisyphus from Eurydice because he saw the pushing of the boulder as a metaphor for pushing past the obstacles in his life. Also, the character’s blackened eyes bore a striking resemblance to his own, which he claimed reflected his irregular sleep schedule. 

Opera Future: Vincent’s goal is to one day become a music conductor.
