Her love of music often intertwines with her love of food. When she and tenor-composer Corey Arnold married in 2024, the choice of destination to celebrate their honeymoon felt almost inevitable. “We both live and breathe music and food,” Boucher says with a smile, “so Italy was the obvious choice—and not just anywhere: Emilia-Romagna.”…
