Story outline

-Lead, describing some aspect of my subject's (Jackie Matava) first scene onstage in Faust
-Transition into "where it all began" – spend some time on her childhood
-Fast forward to high school/college applications, shifting focus
-Spend some time on her undergrad at Vassar
-Spend a good deal of time on her semester in England, where she (finally) had the revelation that she wanted to sing for a living
-Grad school application process
-Her time at IU thus far
-Kicker back at the opera, presumably with closing scene

**Also going to try to intersperse scenes from the opera into the narrative of the story, hopefully going so far as to hint at parallels between Jackie and her character. Need to see the opera first.
