First Night - A Positive Post for a Change!
In a change from your regularly scheduled whinging:
I've been working on a role in a small Rossini opera for a couple of months now - only the Small Hall, not the Main Hall, but still, a lead role - and tonight was the premiere. (It's only two nights, so tomorrow is also the finale.) But... I shouldn't say this myself, but... I sang better than I've ever sung before, I think. I'm pretty much in awe of what happened. Of course, there's still tomorrow, which means I need to shut up and get to bed NOW and not rest on my laurels because I have to do it all over again, as well if not better, but...
*blink*blink*
I'm just... whoa. Is this what happens when - I mean, I've been walking a little bit on the treadmill and taking classes faithfully, but - wow. I... Even people who didn't believe I could do it were coming up and telling me how I'd improved and how well I did, including this French lady who comes over to coach, and the crazy lady who's our company director also just waxed poetic over my performance, and... Yeah. I'm just in danger of getting a swelled head and relaxing too much, and I can't afford to because I've got a performance tomorrow, but... Pretty full of myself and sense of achievement right now.
There may be pictures, eventually, if someone gives me some.
HEY, SARAH, CALM DOWN. IT'S NOT OVER. THERE'S TOMORROW NIGHT. DON'T RELAX JUST YET.
But I had to share.
.....whoa.
