Holmes365 recently posted something thanking her mother for ther artistic background. I realized too, that the arts have been entwined in my past and present too.
I have never seen a live opera, but did occasionally watch them on public television. I have seen ballets/modern dance, musicals such as Godspell (working Lost Colony), Chorus line (Broadway), and Les Miserables (Ky Center). Plus many, many plays.
I also played flute (badly) and sang (even made it to All State). I am a second soprano, though prefer singing first. I have worked in an outdoor drama (Lost Colony) for four summers. I have done set design, lightboard and technician work for theatre (my brother does this for a living).
When in college, I took Orchestral Music appreciation, music theory and university chorale for fun (Chorale 4 semesters). By the way, this horrified several music majors. I sang Handel's Messiah - there is really nothing I can compare that to. Grand Mass in C Minor by Mozart also. We toured two springs also. This is also the place I heard a contralto, in class, sing a cappella "Ave Maria" by Shubert. I believe he could have made angels cry. Absolutely amazing.
I also have been blessed by the arts :)
