ENCHANTED Isle

Just wanted to write that I am very happy today!

And the SATYAGRAHA is coming back to the MET!!!!!!!!!! And something that may even be better!!!!! THE ENCHANTED ISLAND!!!!!!!!

And I get to sing in an opera!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well - I went in and the nice guy who was at the VLOG concert told me to just sing my IOLANTHE aria. So I sang that (SO MUCH EASIER than Je Veux Vivre...) and after I finished everyone was smiling - and turns out they had seen me as Tzeitel and thought I was great in that - and said "It's safe to say you'll be in this production - we'll call you to let you know what part." (My GUESS is "Cigarette Girl" AKA - the chorus - and apparently there is one who has to dance...so - that one? but who knows. i don't really care. I'm thrilled to work on the music.) And they said my voice was "dark and rich" so it was easy to see why people keep mistaking me for an alto or mezzo. (I guess they are dark and rich?) And they said - so you'll be in France March 15-25th? That's o.k. - it's probably right when music rehearsals will be - but we'll catch you up!:):):) (Oh my roommate who owes me many dollars in rent will...)

Next big audition is saturday! EEEEEEK! It's Straw Hat - which is a bunch of theatre and casting directors gathering together and you get 90 seconds to do a monologue and a song. (so in my case - 32 bars of a song and 30 seconds of monologue.) It's basically for non-equity people who don't get seen. But in THREE WEEKS! I WILL BE SEEN! I WILL BE SEEN! I WILL BE SEEN! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Gotta go train so I can be STUPENDOUS when seen! Thank you wife of Mao Zedong and your high Ds for giving me my mojo back!:) (Knock on Wood.)
