Figaro, Figaro, Fiiiiiigaro!

It has been a while since I last posted.  Until very recently I was very literally buried in my "Marriage of Figaro" score.  I sang the role of the Countess in a cover cast performance back on March 29th with my wonderful colleagues, and it was an amazing experience to say the least.  Regardless of the fact that I am technically the "cover" to the Countess, I am still so grateful to have gotten the chance to learn the role and perform it in front of an audience.  I honestly wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. 

This week is our official ticketed performance, and I am working with the lighting designer so that I can run the light board cues during the production.  Even being involved in this way is still a gratifying experience.

As a friend and colleague once said, when offered experiences early on in your career, ALWAYS SAY YES.  Experience is experience, and there is no substitute for opportunities, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.

Now, here's a little Contessa for your listening pleasure :)
