Buonjorno!
Life is, big surprise, ridiculously busy!!! Ahh! But it is fantastic at the same time. I have set all of my literature officially for my recital in October, so big yay for that being done! And most of my music is already learned, I just need to memorize it...ha ha. The only set that will take lots of time, although it will be completely worth it, is my Respighi set, Deita Silvane. It's gorgeous! I have one piece down, 4 to go for that set. I have to finish learning 3 arias for my trip to see Alan Held and then one other aria and a duet for my recital. Shouldn't be too bad all in all.
Ballet is still whooping my butt, but the time now flies, which is a huge plus for my aching quads and calves! I decided to put off the lap swiming until July when my class is over. But I am working on my own little opera project. I am desperately trying to expand my knowledge of opera literature this summer, so I have been hitting the WSU Library and checking out videos to watch at home...so far so good :) I have 2 more to watch from my last expedition to the library, Le Rossignole by Stravinsky (Natalie Dessay in the production, yea!) and Peter Grimes by Britten. It should be a fun weekend :)
I've been baking in Wichita. It's been in the triple digits and it's only June! Plus the humidity has been insane too!
