Four Last Songs has arrived. I have been carrying the score in my pack from one job to another as if I will learn it by osmosis as I have had little (actually no) time to sing through it. I hope my voice is heavy enough.
I also sang through Zerbinetta's glittering take on her philosophy of love from Ariadne auf Naxos four or five times. Boy, could he (Strauss) write for the soprano voice. Wow! I can't wait to perform it. Zerbinetta attempts to raise Ariadne's spirits by singing and dancing. I wonder if my voice is light and agile enough and high enough. At the end of the week I don't have my High F's or E's.
It is time to find a professional accompanist. I miss Michael Dewart.
