opera for
a long time. I've only been a few times in my life and jump at the
chance to enrich my personal wealth of culture in just about any
way I can. I had to juggle some previously made arrangements...no
worries...and so off to opera we went! Handel's Julius Caesar was
playing at the Lyric Opera

I was supposed to go to see my third
opera at the Lyric. Falstaff. I was looking forward to it, because
I don't know the opera.

I saw Faust this afternoon at the Lyric, and it was truly
overwhelming. ... Opera should be banned, because it
stirs the heart too much.

Tosca is
one of the few operas I have seen, and I saw it at the opera
festival at Torre del Lago, Puccini's home in Tuscany. I may go and
see it at the Lyric this season, particularly since they have a
student scheme where you can go for $20.

spinto voice, offers something to Puccini
that a lyric tenor cannot; and it is this: perfect agreement of
effect. Opera in general, and particularly in that period sought to
portray on stage stories and images that were larger than life; one

GEQ: I always get cast as the older
lady/serious roles, too, unless I'm participating in opera scenes
or certain musical theatre scenes/numbers. Since I'm around a
full lyric soprano voice type, it allows me to be cast in some of
the younger roles, as well as some of the older roles.

Its okay if they like it as long as they dont expect me to, just as
I probably wont make them watch lyric opera with me if it is not
what they enjoy.

I went to millenium park on 9/11 to see the
lyric opera for free and I met this awesome british guy and his
wife.
