"It's finished and over forever."

Bastien und Bastienne, that is. Yeah that's a line from the Schirmer translation.

Yesterday (Saturday) was my big show- Queen of the Night aria, Cosi trio, and my first Bastienne. It went really, really well! It was a good team- the tenor had a really good voice, the Colas was hilarious, the pianist was super nice, and everything went great.

I called Amici to ask about the Frasquita-Mercedes division, and I pretty much got the response I expected- whenever we sing together, I should take the top line; otherwise, it'd between us to figure out. So we're just keeping to our own Schirmer-assigned lines when we're not singing harmony.

Added Fledermaus pics to MySpace and website. I have to order a print of one for my mom. If y'all wanna get a print you can order one from the photographer, of course. :) http://loriduprey.com/fledermaus/index.html

Sorry, I'm a little boring today! I guess I'm wiped. Tomorrow I go to Philly for our first Carmen rehearsal. Turns out I know the Carmen, who sang with me in Thais, and she's really cool so we're all good. I still have to figure out how I'm getting from Philly to Landsdowne. Lansdown? Lansdale? I don't know...

The glamorous life of opera, n'est-ce pas?

Good night!

Love always,
Amanda
