Sometimes the Universe speaks (PS Still Aten't Dead)
I am so behind in updating this journal that I may very well meet myself coming the other way.
Updates: fneh.
I shall tell you instead of a conversation I had with my Singer Enabler Friend Anna this evening on facecrack.
Anna is the one who got me to audition for my current course, which I am one concert and one essay away from finshing...WOW.
SEF Anna is herself a big and burgeoning mezzo-soprano (although I reckon she's gonna be a dramatic contralto - Valkyries anyone?) and this semester we finally got to sing a duet together, and pretty much blast the roof off Melba Hall. She loves singing with me because she can sing as big as she likes and I am all "eh. from bar 20?" Seeing as I have been reclassified as a dramatic soprano and all.
I made the mistake of saying "....and yet sometimes I cannot think of myself as an opera singer."
And she came back with "Well, what else are you? A gigantic cabbage?"
This is too fabulous not to put in my bio. "Alexandra: opera singer, and DEFINITELY not a gigantic cabbage."
sometimes the Universe speaks, people, and it speaks of vegetables. mostly of music. but sometimes vegetables.
