Ciao!
I have arrived in Novafeltria after some intense travel, even slept some! The La Musica Lirica group was met by a warm welcome in the main piazza of the village with a dinner of pizza and pastries (followed by a visit to the gelateria- it's better than ice cream!). I am living in an apartment with 4 other women from the program...it is an old building with amazing views of the mountains, and everything is pink! Our beds, tablecloths, you name it! Very cute!
We had our first meetings about the operas today. I will be in Suor Angelica, and the rehearsals begin tomorrow! We also took an Italian placement test. I predict I'll be in the beginner's class. We meet for 3 hours each morning, so I should return to the US knowing some Italian!
One of the most exciting things I've seen is my name on a poster for the opera performance right outside the theater! My name is almost in lights! ;-)
Much more to come...and hopefully some pictures if I can get that figured out!

Woo hoo, your name in lights. I bet the gelato was heaven. Maybe you can get a hot Italian man to help you with your Italian. LOL.
