eve of show 2, pop to opera

i want to know how thursday came around so quickly??? had a lot to learn this week, a whole new song and again, in italian, thank goodness. next week is german, yikes! very difficult, i don't know the language very well at all; that alone will be a challenge. anyway, re: this week, really looking forward to it, the orchestra sounded amazing today at the rehearsal playing my song. this is so incredible. i wish my father was alive to see this; he loved classical music so much. he used to take me to see orchestras, took me to see the great viloinist, isaac stern, it was just beautiful.
today was a very long day: a fitting for my dress, vocal training session, meeting with the mentors to run through my song and talk about the acting/drama aspect of it as well. rolando had both katherine and i in tears talking about the character singing my song and what she is singing about. phew. i'm looking forward to tomorrow. i felt so much better today at the orchestra rehearsal today; i felt like i was present, which was a nice change from last week. everything seemed to be so frenetic, including me, and, my nerves. i've had so much great feedback from friends, family and supporters, it's wonderful and i so appreciate it. i'm really enjoying myself. don't want to go home yet!! so, i shall do me best.

now, i need to rest...

ciao for now.

love always;

marcy
