oh… m’god…
okay… i think its hit me where i am.
all week i’ve been so focused on getting better, and practicing my arias so i knew them up and down and also was combining all the bits i had learned this week.
but this morning, we met in the orchestra rehearsal hall for our Sitzprobe (first rehearsal with orchestra). it was a full orchestra sitting in front of us, with Maestro Patrick Summers sitting at the podium. Nadine went up first and Maestro raised his arms. at this point i was still in the zone, still focused……………….
until the first notes were played.
Anthony Roth Constanzo… the Countertenor in the Grand Finals with me, was sitting to my left.
the first notes were played, and Anthony and i looked slowly towards each other. and suddenly it hit me.
THIS IS THE METROPOLITAN OPERA ORCHESTRA!
THIS IS THE METROPOLITAN OPERA ORCHESTRA!
needless to say i’ve had butterflies in my stomach since then, and have been incredibly antsy… i cannot sit still!
that is all…
– noah
