We are now in full swing of rehearsals for the Opera Theatre of Westion 2011 production of Mozart's The Magic Flute. Today was the first day of full cast rehearsals, and honestly, to hear these incredible singers with such glorious music, I felt like a kid in a candy store.
After being battered by the Nor'easter snow storm two nights ago, bringing 16" of snow to the region, we started rehearsing in the downstairs of a nearby church for the week. All of us just sitting on chairs facing Musical Director Angela Gooch, the Head of Vocal Studies at Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Boston, MA, as we sang through the opera from the beginning. What a treat!
I've worked with a lot of really good singers in my career, and to sit amongst a roomful of such talent was a very heady experience. And to be a part of the Select Chorus for this production is a delight. My work with my vocal coaches, especially this past year, have brought me to the point where I can be a part of this, and to be able to make a contribution here is an honor. And this is only the beginning of this new journey for me.
I will add some photos in as I can, and post more along the way. Stay tuned...
