I think so...Once again, your honesty is inspiring. I think so many singers can relate to these feelings - we are unique as musicians in that our instrument is our body, not an external piece of equipment, and so are very much affected by things often beyond our control. This was the perfect post for me to read today as tomorrow I leave Canada for France to embark on a singing adventure the likes of which I've never attempted before. Lots of anticipation, but yes, some nerves too! It's just so refreshing to hear from a seasoned professional that these feelings are sort of natural, and that we can do things to overcome them. Thank you!posa26https://www.blogger.com/profile/00597235139175799602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236652494278313169.post-84608387990177109642010-08-11T16:35:27.589-07:002010-08-11T16:35:27.589-07:00Brava!!

If it hadn't been for the bus, I too would have stayed until the end of the opera. It doesn't seem long at all, time flies as you enjoy the opera. And seeing Miss Rivera on stage is totally worth going in a weird town in the middle of Austria... but if you can skip the weird town part, I guess it's even better!<br />Licida, please receive here the public applauses I wasn't able to give you for leaving early!Violettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236652494278313169.post-52685628483531555942010-08-09T18:52:44.835-07:002010-08-09T18:52:44.835-07:00Glad the show went well- we all knew it would!

I'd never heard the phrase "ha-ha" before, but it says it exactly right for me. I hate it. The guy sounds like someone is slapping him on the back or shaking him by the shoulders. Or he (sometimes she) just can't manage a true trill. I'd rather he not try. I like the way you sing 'em. Lovely and thrillingly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109855963659064460noreply@blogger.com
