A quick update

Hello,

Just a quick line to update everyone on a few details for this summer. I will be flying out on June 11th and spending a couple of days before the program starts with some family friends in Frankfurt, Germany. I will take the train and arrive in Italy on the 14th or 15th. Rehearsals begin on Monday (my birthday!) and our performances of "Figaro" will be July 8th and 11th.

Only 15 days and counting until I depart...I'm off to practice :)

This summer and beyond!

Dear Friends,

My apologies for the long time between entries! For everyone who is reading for the first time, welcome and thanks for stopping by. The new pictures are from the latest (and my last) production by Indy Opera- "Les Contes d'Hoffman." As always, it was a great experience to make beautiful music with wonderful colleagues!

Right now is a very wonderful, crazy time. I have made some big decisions! First of all, I was asked to return to La Musica Lirica this summer to sing Marcellina in "Le Nozze di Figaro." I am very excited to be learning this comedic role (and spend another 5 weeks in beautiful Italy!).

***DISCLAIMER***
For anyone who would like a post card: PLEASE email me your address by June 2nd! :) Thanks!

So in addition to learning an opera role (and continuing to work full-time at T-Mobile), I am also packing my apartment to put everything in storage for the summer. When I return from overseas in July, I will be moving to Atlanta, GA for graduate school! I am thrilled to report that I have been accepted to the graduate program at Georgia State University for this fall. It is a two year program and I can't wait to get started!

I will truly miss all of the wonderful people I have met in Indianapolis. In celebration of my departure, we are having a get-together on Tuesday, June 3rd at Howl at the Moon in downtown Indy. If you are around, please join me as I say "farewell."

I would like to thank everyone (again) for your continued love, encouragement and support.
