Things have been so busy between Otello and Impresario being back to back. Not that I didn't think this was going to be the case, but a staph infection in my foot complicated the whole thing. Yay. Despite that, getting to sing in Otello and hearing some fabulous voices, including one of my favorite sopranos, Megan Miller. She sang Desdemona and has sung Marguerite (Faust) and Fiordiligi (Cosi fan tutte) for Syracuse Opera before. She's always an audience favorite, and one of the nicest people to work with, too. I think Act III was my favorite. We began reading through it at the first full cast rehearsal, and the tears just came. Such an amazing piece of music, and I'm priviledged enough to get to sing it. It's such a blessing, being able to sing. And I'm beginning to be able to earn my living at it. As my grandfather said, it's not work if you enjoy it!


Impresario is going to be a load of fun. I'm on my way now, but I wanted to take an opportunity to post my thoughts on Otello before they escaped me. Photos will be up on the web site as soon as I get the chance to scan them in.
