The Medium

The Capitol City Opera Company presented The Medium by Gian Carlo Menotti this past weekend at Oglethorpe University's Conant Performing Arts Center. I played Monica. It was a dream-role for me. There was a strong cast that was wonderful to work with! Here are a few pictures. I will post a little video as soon as possible.

That'll Show Him

Had the extreme pleasure of performing Sondheim all this weekend with a fun and wonderful group of folks! My best performance today was of That'll Show Him. I'm mad at myself for making a mistake during Green Finch and Linnet Bird, because that's a great song for me, but I sang it well the other two days.

Coming Up

This weekend I'll be performing with Capitol City Opera in their annual Light Side fund raising event. This year we're doing Sondheim and I love it. It's going to be great fun! www.ccityopera.com for info and tickets!

Nothing planned after that until September when I'll be singing Monica in The Medium with Capitol City Opera. I'm also working on a concert of Broadway songs. I'm thinking about calling it "In My Element: Musical Theatre for the Rediculously High Soprano" It should be ready sometime in November.

What I did in May

I sang Art is Calling for Me (also known as The Prima Donna Song) from Victor Herbert's 1911 The Enchantress at the final Michael O'Neal concert of the season. It was a real chance to shine in front of 3000 audience members. I loved playing it up and being a real prima donna!



The Reminiscents performed for the JVHS '53-'55 class reunion in May. We had a great time sporting our new 50's dresses and singing a whole new set of 50's songs. Here I am singing Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. To see more clips, visit the website www.thereminiscents.com.

May Madness

Lots of fun things coming up in May! I have taken the whole month of April to prepare for the happenings in May. First up is 2 gigs for The Reminiscents. We are doing a performance for the annual dinner for the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau and then a class reunion in Columbus. We're excited about these gigs because we will be reaching back to the 50's which means all new songs and new costumes, as well as a new cast member. We're so happy that Courtney Loner has decided to join the group. She is going to be a huge asset to us. But, sorry these gigs are private. I'll let you know as soon as we have a public gig so all can come see the new look and sound!
Next up is Dinner and a Diva at Petite Auberge on Tuesday, May 19. May is Mozart. This month we'll be doing highlights from Don Giovanni, which means Batti, batti and Vedrai carino for me as well as a duet with Gerald Yarblay. You can always check www.ccityopera.com for information and tickets.
Last up for the month is Celebrate Musical Theatre with Michael O'Neal Singers on Friday, May 22 at 8PM. We will be singing highlights from musical theatre from the last 100 years. I will be performing Victor Herbert's Art is Calling for Me from The Enchantress. Great stuff! Check out www.mosingers.com for info and tickets!
See you around!
