Today, for my sins, I am sitting in an interminable meeting. All that keeps me from running screaming from the room, is the fact that at least I only have to be here for one day of this five day meeting. Tomorrow I am off to a five day singing workshop. I haven't ever done anything quite like this before, so I am a little nervous, and very excited.
I believe that there are only about 8 students attending the workshop, with 2 teachers. The idea is that we will work not so much on learning a particular song, but playing and working on songs we already know, to see how we can develop and change our production. I get the horrible feeling that there will be tears before bedtime but that it will still be invaluable.
I am working on:
Claire de Lune - Faure
Lascia chio Piangga - Handel
Che faro senza Euridice - Gluck
Dido's song - Purcell
So there is a mix of periods, languages and styles for me to screw up.
