Tiffany Brannan has two passions, the classical arts and history, especially entertainment related. She has been a professional journalist since 2019, writing primarily about Hollywood history, and had a classic film blog for three years before that. Her first professional writing job was as a contributing writer for The Epoch Times, and she has written several articles per month for the East Coast, West Coast, and national editions of this paper, in print and online, ever since. Her passion for old movies inspired her love for vintage fashion. However, singing has always been her first love. 

Tiffany has been singing since age four. She started musical theater classes at age five and had her first private voice teacher at age six. At age seven, she started studying with a college opera professor, Paul Sahuc, who would become the biggest influence in her singing training. He introduced her to her first Italian aria at age eight, and by the time she was ten, she had decided that she wanted to be an opera singer. She continued studying with him for the next ten years at Idyllwild Academy of the Arts, at the University of California in Redlands, in Claremont, at the University of California in Santa Barbara, and finally over Skype after he moved to Louisiana. 

Tiffany was in many theatrical productions as a child, including community plays, musicals, and ballets, often playing prominent roles. She performed in her first opera, Luisa Fernanda by Federico Moreno Torroba, at UCSB at age twelve, singing in the chorus, dancing, and understudying a soloist role. She studied ballet, tap, and ballroom dancing with many teachers from age three onward. 

In 2022, Tiffany turned professional as an opera singer, appearing in four operas during the 2022/23 season with four different companies, playing featured roles in Carmen, two productions of Amahl and the Night Visitors, and The Pirates of Penzance. She also has performed as a featured soloist at many classical singing events throughout Southern California.

Going into the 2023/2024 season, Tiffany plans to perform in local professional opera productions, compete in classical vocal competitions, and sing at operatic events. However, she is very excited about growing Cinballera and expanding her writing niche at The Epoch Times with writing a column for the Southern California daily paper and developing a show for EpochTV. 

Rebekah Brannan has had many artistic endeavors her whole life.  Beginning both singing and dancing at age three, these two artforms have been her main focus for most of her life. While not a prolific, paid writer like her older sister, Rebekah enjoys fiction writing and hopes to publish some of her works one day.

After studying ballet since age three, Rebekah went en pointe at the age of eleven while studying with Ellen Rosa Taylor, dean of the dance department at Idyllwild Arts Academy. At age thirteen, she began studying at The Ballet Studio Inc., in Murrieta, CA. During her four years there, she had extensive classes, private lessons, and multiple performing opportunities, including dancing the lead role of Clara-Marie in TBS's unique production of "The Nutcracker" at age 17. While there, she also had extensive pas de deux training with her teacher, former professional dancer Mark Erickson, fellow students, and semi-pro dancer Sergio Gomez, a two-year partnership which culminated in their writing and performing original ballet "Trixie and Hyde" in October 2021. Rebekah was hired by San Diego Ballet at age eighteen and danced with the company for two seasons. 

Rebekah has had private voice lessons since age three. She sang three times on the Patti Daly Caruso Show between the ages of 5 and 7, was a chorus member in a production of the zarzuela "Luisa Fernanda" at UCSB at age nine, appeared as both a singer and featured dancer in the Fine Arts Network's 2022 production of "Cinderella" in Temecula, and earlier this year played Kate in Landmark Opera's production of "The Pirates of Penzance." Rebekah is passionate about both ballet and opera, and also dabbles in video editing and graphic design. One of her greatest passions is writing, choreographing, and performing original ballets with Tiffany.
