And to quote a line from the next opera I'm in, "on to tomorrow, each to her sep'rate goal." It's the beginning of summer, and most singers depart to one (or several) summer music festivals. I'll be heading down the the Ozarks for two months, four operas, and countless other concerts, masterclasses and events. It's always a little daunting to go to a new program, not knowing what exactly the scene will be. You always think you have your music memorized, but you never actually know until the first rehearsal.
Next is Le nozze di Figaro, which is always joyous and has some of the most charming and expressive music ever written. And then Little Women, which I'm learning more and more about the more I practice my part. It's an interesting take on a classical novel, with a lot of charismatic female characters and some truly lovely music as well.
Since I just reactivated my mobile broadband feature on my phone, I'll have no excuse not to give updates from the Ozarks...so, watch out!
