The play was amazing. Despite only having a very basic idea of the plot and not knowing the language, I was able to follow the play. It took place in an outside theater early evening so lights were not needed. The rain just managed to hold off until we were almost back to the college.
The costumes were magnificent. There wasn’t much to the set, really just the stage and stairs with a few props, but then the stage actually broke apart and there was fire and explosives. It was quite dramatic and caught us all by surprise.
After the play, we had just enough time to go back to the college and grab our things before it closed for the evening. I caught the bus home and spoke with the family for a few minutes before heading up to my room and complete my German homework and call it a night.
Today was essentially our last German class. Tomorrow morning we’re going to have class at a Café so we can practice ordering and asking for the check in German.
It was also my last lesson with Yvonne today. It was wonderful! We worked on “Poor Wand’ring One” as it’s what I will be singing for my final. Then we spent a little time on “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion” from Handel’s Messiah. She gave me some great tools to work with to help polish the piece even more.
We have to eat our lunch a little early today and eat quickly. At 1:30 we’re meeting with a singer (whose name I can’t remember at the moment) and her husband, a famous conductor. It will be another Q&A today, but a short one. At 3:00 we have another Salzburg Festival master class. Hopefully either Vladimir (the good looking baritone) or Andre (the gorgeous bass) will be performing today. If not, they’ll at least still be there.
