The itinerary is finally settling down for this month. This Saturday I leave Cincinnati in the morning, carpooling with two goood friends. We drive to Chicago, sing auditions for Sarasota Opera, and then settle in for a good famly dinner.
On Monday I fly from Chicago to San Francisco, where my ride to Mendocino awaits. I can't wait to sing Bartolo! My time in Mendo is bisected by a trip home for my grandmother's memorial service. I'll fly back to cali the following Monday to sing in the preview concert, with the full performances on the following weekend.
Then I fly back to Chicago, where I'll (hopefully) audition for the Merola program at San Francisco Opera. Then it's back to Cincinnati by bus, where I'll be preparing for my Master's recital!
And amid all of that I'm still working remotely, preparing recital rep, and trying to grow my Bartolo character, who has been sadly neglected through all this moving in mess.
Just looking at that schedule makes my head spin! I'l be taking this one step at a time... what a great job to have, though.
