Website for a new year

Well, the Calendar page is finally revamped.  It was stuck late in November for quite a while.  The Google Calendar portion isn't yet updated, but the shape of my upcoming season (thus far) is at last on the web. 

As you can see, it's a Mikado-laden Spring.  Which is wonderful, actually.  Katisha is really a pretty extroardinary character, and she's got pretty extroardinary music.  One of the things I love about opera is the way in which the music will tell you who the character is, in an incredibly subtle, overwhelming sort of way.  And "Alone, and yet alive?" does that for me.  It gives an exact description of who Katisha is--and though there's a lot of fun to be gotten out of her opinion of herself and the way she interacts with others, when it comes down to it she is a real person, one with something very large to say.  So it's going to be awesome to get to be her for a while!

Also on the docket (?) are a gala with North Bay Opera, and the Magnificat/Gloria concert with the San Francisco Bach Choir.  I'm really excited about everything (I love the Magnificat.  Just love.  Everything about it.  It's Magnifi-cent!).

Finally, if you're looking far far far into your future and would like to know how it intersects with mine (because why wouldn't you?), I will be attending the Music Academy of the West in the Summer, singing the role of Mother Goose in their production of The Rake's Progress.  (That's not on the calendar yet.)

Thanks, as always, for your time!
