In 1990 I sang the role of one of the girlfriends (who are sisters) and lived with the role for 18 months. I thought I'd never forget it. Last night my menopausal brain allowed me to sing along (in Italian) until LOCI called on another channel. I was so chuffed!Sunday, November 26, 2006
Memory and Memories
Last night Mozart's opera Cosi Fan Tutte was on TV. It was a production from last summer's Glyndebourne Festival in Sussex, where a theatre in the grounds of a country house puts on a rather exclusive opera festival every summer. For those who don't know, the opera is about a cynical older man trying to prove to his younger friends that their girls are as fickle as any others.

ReplyDeleteSeriously, it's wonderful.
Mozart's operas are amazing! And that's so cool that you can sing along and you have the perfect voice for it.
ReplyDeleteAre you an alto or soprano?
I still can sing along in Latin with Vivaldi's "Gloria" b/c we did it in my chorus class senior year in high school...the final performance was at the First Church of Christ in my hometown of Sandwich (church was designed by Christopher Wren too) along with the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra.
