Late Night Ramblings

Hi!!!

Happy Easter, Passover, etc.  Boy, has spring come and gone quickly around here!  I guess I’ve been busy, but summer sure does come quickly to Maryland!  I know it’s been a while since I’ve philosophized, but I figured you all could use a break. 

In that light, here’s a bit of a plug for some of my upcoming performances.  We tried our scenes out today in front of quite an audience in the large foyer of our gorgeous performing arts center, and they went so well.  I’m happy to invite you all to come and see them, if you’re in the DC area or can make it here next week. 

Upcoming solo performances here at the University of Maryland’s Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center: 

Next Wednesday, April 26, and Friday, April 28, at 7:30pm – An evening of opera scenes

• I’ll be performing the role of Concepcion in scenes from L’heure Espagnole by Maurice Ravel, where I look for “love” in all of the wrong places and even manage to throw a bona fide diva fit.  I’ll also be playing Veronique in scenes from Bizet’s Le Docteur Miracle.  A bit of dance and a little danger rounds out an exciting evening of scenes from several brilliant and well-loved operas in the Gildenhorn (inside the Clarice Smith Center).

Next Friday, April 29 (Maryland Day), at 1:30pm – Scenes from Il Matrimonio Segreto

• As part of the Maryland Day celebration, the covers for this year’s opera will be performing scenes from Il Matrimonio Segreto, accompanied by piano, on the set of the production in the Kay Theater (inside the Clarice Smith Center).  I’ll be performing as Fidalma, the widowed aunt, in a trio from the opera (If you’d also like to see the second year students of the Maryland Opera Studio in the full production of Il Matrimonio Segreto, you can see it on April 21, 25, 27, and 29 at 7:30pm and on the 23^rd and 30^th at 3pm).

Sunday, May 7, at 7:30pm – Spring Choral Showcase

• I’ll be performing the mezzo soprano solo in John Corigliano’s Fern Hill, a beautiful piece for chorus and mezzo soprano, accompanied by strings, piano, and harp.  Also on the program are Benjamin Britten’s Five Flower Songs and Brahms’s Neue Liebeslieder Walzer.

Hope to see you there!!
