I walked about half way home before I caught the next bus yesterday afternoon. I arrived home and Martina started to make supper. While she was making a wonderful shrimp salad, I was going through my flash cards and drinking tea.
After supper, coffee and dessert, I headed upstairs to continue studying, read, and get to bed early.
Today I had to get up and do my hair, makeup and pick out my dress for today. I have a coaching with Mary Dibbern again today and am also singing in her master class after lunch. Then, tonight I have a ticket to the opening night of Mozart’s Don Giovanni! I am very excited. Sofia and I have already decided we’re waiting for the singers to come out to meet them.
The master class was absolutely wonderful. Everything went really well. We discussed how to say the nasal vowels in French without them getting stuck in your nose. She also corrected diction errors; common mistakes.
The Opera was… interesting. At the Salzburg Festival, they have a fascination with doing modern productions. This Don Giovanni was set in the forest and even had a car that drove onto the stage. Zerlina also practically had sex on stage… it was a very intense bloody and sexual production. I’m still now quite sure how I feel about it. The baritone that sang Leporello was incredible and gorgeous.
I walked about halfway home; until the bus caught up with me. Then I crashed for the evening as soon as I got home
