We got opera scenes assignments today, and I get to sing Carolina in a trio from Il matrimono segreto, which OTSL did last summer, and I LOVE. SO EXCITED.
I also get to sing a solo in the cabaret--there's a plot (something about people travelling on a train, who get stuck in a bar during an oh-so-common Italian train strike, and what happens when all these random people collide) and the songs are Italian number 1,2, and 3 hits from the 20s, 30s, and 40s...very Gershwin-esque, apparently. SO EXCITED for that as well. Apparently, it's the most popular event with the Lucchese (people of Lucca, for future reference). WOOT.
Today I sat on the wall outside the city with Bevin and we worked on our Italian cabaret songs. Tell me THAT'S not fabulous.
Tonight I have a coaching, and tomorrow I have a voice lesson--I'm studying with a woman named Beth Roberts who teaches at Mannes, and according to Bevin has a very similar technique to the two voice professors I've met with in my grad school search. Which means it should be a nice continuation from Chris A--and everyone who's worked with her here already loves her. Good stuff, good stuff.
Alright, I have 30 seconds left on the time meter, so it is time to say farewell!
*ciao*

You are crazy and I SO love that you're blogging like this. I'm glad you're having so much fun. I think your music is my language, and I'm thrilledthrilledthrilled that it's that obvious in your posts!
i can't help but suppress the pangs of jealousy and smile at your adventures thusfar. i'm so proud of you (i think i already said that actually) and since i'm not your mother, that's something. anyway, sooo glad you're having a wonderful time. love and miss you tremendously, but in an "I'm-also-having-a-pretty-freaking-sweet-summer-over-here-on-this-side-of-the-Atlantic" way. so that's good.
