Hello all :) Life has been ridiculously busy these past few weeks, but in a good way though.
As stated in my heading, I HAVE MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL CREDIT!!! A very exciting thing indeed for being a student who is trying to build her resume. I've been working my bum off to learn everything too with finals going on and what not. I'm performing the role of Miss Sweetsong (or in the original German, Mademoiselle Silberklang) in Mozart's The Impresario. I just got a phone call from the director of Opera Kansas and he offered me the role. I haven't auditioned for this company since my freshman year, so my voice has grown a great deal in 4 years! Aparently it was by word of mouth about my recent performances and my abilities that the director offered me the role...just goes to show that the realm of opera is a small community with a long memory...don't burn your bridges! But long story somewhat shorter, I was offered the role last Thursday, got the score last Friday, had my first rehearsal today, and the show is on May 26th & 27th, whew! I'm really enjoying it though. I get to do one last show with my friend Dru, playing Madame Herz, and I get to work with some of the faculty members. It's going to be a great experience and the best part....I GET PAID! Could it get much better than this...nope :)
Currently planning a few researching projects over the summer....first of all I want to research soprano operatic roles and sort them according to voice type...I'm more of a soprano leggiero or light lyric at the moment...so I'm currently enjoying the soubrette roles n' such...but I want to know what I should head for later on down the line/ roles to learn, etc....also the ever growing project of researching graduate schools, ugh.....I've got 7ish on my list currently and it will more than likely be growing. It's all up to where God wants me to go and what He wants me to do....so I'm sure He'll show me where to go. That is all for the moment, but more updates from this sarcastic soprano will be arriving soon!
