I love Vienna. I just sang Mozart for Linda Watson. She is funny and down to earth and so kind. And also one of the best Wagnerian sopranos alive. Did I say I love Vienna? Today Linda Watson taught me to be patient and to not talk to ANYONE at an audition. And to anticipate my breathing and to do it deeply and relaxed so I don't sound like a harpy. My word, not hers. Linda Watson would never say someone sounded like a harpy. At least in a master class. I don't know her personally. Can you tell I'm still excited about what I did tonight? I can't even write long sentences.
I'm learning how to be just the right amount of diva in Vienna, too. I consider the right amount to be enough that you do anything you have to do to take care of your voice and get better at performing and singing yet nobody actually thinks you're a diva. A closeted diva is a good diva.

A closeted diva is a good diva....please preach that when you are back on campus. :) There are some who would benefit greatly from that wisdom.
