“I was hooked on performance.” A Q&A with Leslie Damaso, Filipina American opera singer, bookseller, and community builder
Almost two decades ago, Leslie Damaso accidentally stumbled upon Mineral Point, Wisconsin, on a roadtrip with her partner, Keith, to see the Dickeyville Grotto in the dead of winter. On the ride back home to Cross Plains, they took the Mineral Point exit to see what the small historical town had to offer. And thank goodness they did: Over the past 18 years, Damaso has called Mineral Point home and has steadily fostered a sense of community there. She teaches piano and voice lessons at her studio, Buttonhill Music Studio, and recently opened the bookstore Republic of Letters, which has quickly become a neighborhood spot.
