LA Ring

Last Sunday we did the final performance for this season of Das Rheingold, and are heavy into rehearsals for Die Walkuere. Allan and I enjoy living in Santa Monica so much, and I really appreciate the whole LA opera group. Christopher Koelsch, Josh Winograde, Marin Venturi, Julia Diamond, and Susan Lang are just 5 of the people that make it a true delight to work here.
I had a piano rehearsal with James Conlon yesterday, and our first sitzprobe last night.....which was such a delight. This Fricka scene is so full of drama, beauty, excitement, and fantastic music. It's so wonderful to sing! I am having a great time working with Conlon on it and discovering the music a little further.

I hope this finds you all very well. God Bless
