So I've decided to get on the band wagon and start my own blog. I have to admit that I'm not the most articulate author, but I will endeavor to try :).
Most exciting bit of my life in my recent history occurred 2 nights ago. I got to meet Joyce DiDonato! She is a fabulous person on an off stage. She is my biggest inspiration in the field of opera because she can simply be herself, have a successful marriage, and have an obviously amazing operatic career. Truly a night that I will always treasure.
On a side note I'm making some decisions about my repertoire. I've done some pieces in the past that I should just put away for another 5-6 years-ish. I'm currently looking for some new light lyric (soprano leggiero)/ soubrette audition arias to learn. I am really pleased to say that the role of Susannah fits REALLY well in my voice. I am refining "The Trees on the Mountains" and I want to go work on "Ain't It A Pretty Night" over the summer to coach with Alan Held. I'm looking at working on Silvia's aria, "Bester Jüngling! " from Mozart's Der Schauspieldirektor. I am liking all of these ideas, but while youtube-ing (can I make that a verb?) This was my favorite thing to watch! Natalie Dessay cracks me up! I love Offenbach anyways, but I wasn't familiar with his one act, Orfeo en los infiernos. As a soprano, I'm always eager to find a humorous aria to bring to the table to show my acting flexibility. I hope you enjoy this clip, and let's here it for Natalie and Offenbach for their genious!
