I'd rather be sleeping (but opera is keeping me awake): Back on the Horse
http://luindriel.blogspot.com/2013/09/back-on-horse.html
I'd rather be sleeping (but opera is keeping me awake). My musings as I learn about and participate in opera. Thursday, September 19, 2013. Back on the Horse. I still have the recording of my last lesson with my voice teacher from March on my iphone. About 2 weeks ago I was finally able to listen to it without crying. I actually sang along and felt happy. I realized I was ready to study again. About the same time, I learned that The Opera Project was presenting a memorial concert for my voice teacher.

I'd rather be sleeping (but opera is keeping me awake): No Fear!
http://luindriel.blogspot.com/2014/01/no-fear.html
I'd rather be sleeping (but opera is keeping me awake). My musings as I learn about and participate in opera. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Normally I don’t make new year’s resolutions, but this year I did make just one: Don’t fear the high notes. There are notes that I can comfortably hit and sustain, but for some reason when they turn up with certain words in a song, or in a certain jump from another note, I swallow them. Why?

I'd rather be sleeping (but opera is keeping me awake). My musings as I learn about and participate in opera. Friday, April 5, 2013. Just realized that I never did report back about the "special gift" that was part of my Elixir of Love Prize. I was excepting something related either to Elixir of Love or else to cocktails. Nope. I got a large envelope in the mail from the Met Opera a few days after the performance. Opened to find a random assortment of items from the gift shop:. View my complete profile.

THANKS to everyone who voted for my drink in the Elixir of Love contest… I WON! The guy in 2nd place got 334:. Then the Met sent me a letter saying that my drink “won the hearts of their fans…” Well. Not exactly. But I’ll take the win! The contest said to get everyone. To vote. That’s what I did. Afterwards, I got “involved” in a conversation on facebook wi...It's true...

I'd rather be sleeping (but opera is keeping me awake). My musings as I learn about and participate in opera. Friday, December 7, 2012. The Double-Take $10 Karma. So remember in my last post how I said I check Nathan Gunn's website occasionally to see if he'll be singing nearby? Appear on the bulletin board in the kitchen where I work. So there I was, drying off my lunch container when I saw this poster. 8221; It was a very Bugs Bunny double-take moment. I guess there’s your karma. Once More With Feeling.

I'd rather be sleeping (but opera is keeping me awake). My musings as I learn about and participate in opera. Wednesday, January 23, 2013. The Opera Project WING concert was fun! The first part was scenes from Magic Flute, dialogue and some songs in English, some in German. It was cute! It’s amazing to hear these gorgeous, gorgeous voices coming out of such young bodies! Some of the girls are in 8th grade. How old is that, 14? Here’s the Iolanthe scene:. Imagine that voice in 10 years! Thanks for sharing...

I'd rather be sleeping (but opera is keeping me awake). My musings as I learn about and participate in opera. Thursday, December 13, 2007. Enchanted Evening, Men in Tights. Sigh* What a fabulous time I had yesterday! Where to begin, where to begin. I know anyone who's reading (and at least one person does b/c he or she posted a comment asking how it was) will want to know about the opera itself, but patience, reader(s), patience. And very yummy. And, of course, very expensive, but well worth it. ...Our s...
