Somebody pinch me! I am in an incredible state of bliss! I LOVE MY LIFE!! I thought I loved everything before, but then school started and I can't even smile big enough! Sometimes I just have to flat out giggle every once in a while because a simple smile just doesn't cut it.
Yesterday I auditioned for the USU production of the opera "Martha," the USU Chamber Singers, and American Festival Chorus...
The USU Chamber Singers is the advanced choir at Utah State. The American Festival Chorus is the community choir for Northern Utah. This choir is going to be directed than none other than Craig Jessop!! I really wanted to be in these two choirs. I love singing in choirs and it would be a fantastic learning experience to be involved in such prominent groups. I am happy to say that I made it into both choirs! As an alto! Ha ha! I am being dead serious. I am going to be an alto!
I sang Amazing Grace a'cappella for the audition and did some sight singing. Direct quote from Craig Jessop himself... "Beautiful voice! Beautiful, beautiful voice." You heard the man!
But here is the kicker!!!!!!!!
I also got a part in the OPERA!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I am so excited!!!! There were only two female lead roles. I am one lucky kitty! I will be playing the part of Nancy. Because there are only two female roles, they have been double cast so I will be playing that role two of the four performances. I can't even explain how excited I am! The opera is in German! I am taking a German language class and a German diction class! What an awesome opportunity to study the language! Oh man... My first role!! I really can't even begin to explain my excitement! I am so happy! I can't wait to work work work! Yay for singing!
