Opera Cake: Carmen Aldrich
http://opera-cake.blogspot.com/2015/07/carmen-aldrich.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Carmen at Chorégie d’Orange. Was TV live broadcast less than two weeks ago. Contrary to the Puccini operas or the dreaded Verismo repertoire, Carmen is always enjoyable to listen to, so even when the visuals are less appealing you may always take pleasure in music and good singing — especially with the cast like the one chosen for this year’s Carmen in Orange. Of course there were many who loved Carmen and today it is probably the most loved opera in the world. HOWEVER, if you e...

Trying to remain opera-tional: Wherefore art thou?
http://sestissimo.blogspot.com/2010/10/wherefore-art-thou.html
Trying to remain opera-tional. The life of an opera singer equals comedy. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Oh Blog readers, have you given up on me? So, I'm back in Europe again. How did that happen? The German dude sitting next to me, who was already pissing me off with his "hogging the armrests" antics, decided he was the electronics police. He leaned over to me as we were taxiing and said "Aren't we supposed to turn off all electronic devices for take-off and landing? I looked at him sideways and asked "why?

Trying to remain opera-tional: Opera Kissing
http://sestissimo.blogspot.com/2008/10/opera-kissing.html
Trying to remain opera-tional. The life of an opera singer equals comedy. Monday, October 27, 2008. I' think it's easier to kiss from the first day so it's totally not an issue by the time you get to the stage. But then, how do I tell my romantic co-star that I want to kiss from the first day without seeming like I want to kiss them in real life? Usually I don't say anything and just go with the flow. That would totally freak me out. October 27, 2008 at 7:20 PM. Gluing one's lips to another's and making ...

Trying to remain opera-tional: Out of the frying pan and into the refiners fire
http://sestissimo.blogspot.com/2009/12/out-of-frying-pan-and-into-refiners.html
Trying to remain opera-tional. The life of an opera singer equals comedy. Saturday, December 5, 2009. Out of the frying pan and into the refiners fire. Last night marked my first time singing "The Messiah", the great oratorio by Handel that is performed hundreds, nay thousands of times each Christmas and Easter. Which is why everyone was asking me HOW can this be your FIRST MESSIAH? Asked Will, and Erin replied, "Jennifer Rivera. Do you know her? She's my best friend! Keep up the great work! Jenny, your ...

Trying to remain opera-tional. The life of an opera singer equals comedy. Friday, October 8, 2010. Yeah, I'm totally out of there. Hey, I am glad that you are writing again here on your blog. I missed you and your news. October 9, 2010 at 5:55 AM. Jennifer, this may be considered heresy, but I honestly prefer the colors, weight, even technique of your instrument! I do hope you are enjoying the joys of Wienerwald.its not to be underestimated ;-). October 9, 2010 at 8:13 AM. October 9, 2010 at 2:38 PM.

Trying to remain opera-tional: Ja wohl!
http://sestissimo.blogspot.com/2010/10/ja-wohl.html
Trying to remain opera-tional. The life of an opera singer equals comedy. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. I kept meaning to write a blog post about all that's been happening, and then more stuff would happen! It already feels like years ago that I finally performed the Kindertotenlieder, but it was only 4 days ago! Not even the fact that I am now a common criminal in Germany could damper my spirits about not having to sing that high note. You think I'm kidding? October 13, 2010 at 7:18 PM. I started writing...

Trying to remain opera-tional: fire extinguisher
http://sestissimo.blogspot.com/2008/09/fire-extinguisher.html
Trying to remain opera-tional. The life of an opera singer equals comedy. Friday, September 5, 2008. In the final act of La Boheme, Mimi dies, and as she sings her last words, it's as if a beautiful flame is extinguished forever. This is a wonderful metaphor, but it's one that I don't personally recommend coming to actual life on the stage. Just after Marcello says "coraggio" to Rodolfo and he collapes onto the bed with those big chords and wails "MIMI! Wow, that is an incredible story! Subscribe to: Pos...
