Messiah Audition

Well as I've said before this Blogging is all very new.

This past Tuesday I auditioned for Victoria Symphony for their 2010 Messiah. I felt as though the audition went rather well. It was very short notice so I had zero rehearsal time with an accompanist. Bat alas, Wendy Stoffer did a lovely job at the keys. I feel very positive and will continue to better my coloratura.
Next step is learning my part in Cappricio, "Diener #4" for Pacific Opera Victoria. As well get a firm hold on "Ferryman " in Curlew River. ...Oh yes and keep Boheme's "Marcello" on the back burner for a potential Summer program. Signing off........Sam.

Best of the Season to anyone out there.

Well, well .Tonight was the first rehersal for a read through of a new Opera commisioned for POV amd Banff Centre. "Mary's Wedding" It is fantastic to be able to take part in the process.

Thank you.

Off to Audition in Vancouver.

So I am here at home, and it is 10:45 at night. I must be nuts. I gotta get up and catch a ferry tomorrow at 9 AM, sing my ass off at 12:40 and get my butt back to Victoria by 5PM. Then off to see the Folks with my 2 Doggle's. and lovely wife on Saturday. ............I am Nuts! Off to bed!
