Starstruck

So, here I am across the country with one friend within a 300 mile radius.

I sat in the "VIP" section for Verdi's Simon Boccanegra this evening.

While waiting for my ride home at the stage door, I chatted with Dmitri Hvorostovsky, the baritone lead in the opera. http://www.hvorostovsky.com/

Then, congratulated the most amazingly talented and gracious tenor on a magnificent performance while he met up with his girlfriend.

Following that I discussed on the ride home my interpretation and feelings of the opera with the Conductor.

And after a glass of wine back at home, I was given a special pass to see the dress rehearsal for a world premiere of a different opera tomorrow evening since they both have previous engagements.





I am the luckiest girl ever.
And I am finally reminded of why I love music this evening. Thank you, Verdi.


Graduating early and coming to San Francisco was the best decision I could have ever made.
I truly miss singing and can't wait to start back up again. Music is amazing.
