Occasional bursts of information.

Orpheus in the Underworld last night. Not as much nudity as I expected, but some good acting/over-the-topping by many voice majors.
But that's not a criticism -- the whole thing was a cartoon. There was no sincerity. Actual acting would have been terrible, I think.

I'm working out Deh, vieni for my opera audition. I need to do it faster -- in 2 -- & give it some life. The last section is rockin', but I'm not used to doing the recit like an aria. It sounds so fake to me.

Today: Practice, read Invisible Man, rememorize Opera Scene, hang out with John.
