I SAW TOSCA TONIGHT AT THE STAATSOPER, AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing. I couldn't believe I was standing there watching that magic happen in front of me. The singers were unbelievable, and the orchestra was outstanding. I just wanted to weep at how wonderful it was to be there watching, and I wish I could have jumped onto the stage and sung with them. Go Vienna. This was so wonderful.
This morning I woke up with that sore throat thing again where I feel like I'm getting sick, but I am denying it. I shall remain healthy. There are so many stupid viruses over here that I haven't been exposed to, and they are all trying to attack me. I'm going to Styria tomorrow (a place in Austria) to taste wine and walk around with some other IES people. I am sort of packed, and I have to be there at 7:15 am, so that leaves me 6 hours to sleep, finish packing, and get to the bus. Tight schedule, but I can work with it.
School is good. Classes are very different from Butler. I'm learning a lot, but they aren't very hard. That is probably good for me. I start ballet and jazz this week at the university...wish me luck. I hope I understand what is going on! I think I can fake my way through a dance class if I have to :-) I look forward to it!
I can't believe it is October already. That is crazy. I'll be home in 2.5 months! I can't wait to see everyone, but it will be very hard to leave here.
I don't know what Tosca is, but I'm glad you had such a special experience!! :) and keep thinking positive. Don't get sick!!! And let me know how the dance class is going! I myself am currently falling in love with a dancer...but I won't start on that or I'll never stop. :)
ReplyDeleteStay healthy, and keep experiencing amazing things!!!
I have always wanted to sing Tosca - in some parallel life. And E' lucevan' le stelle is one of my favorite arias.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to see it. When you get a moment let us know who the artists were.
