Andy, Janna, and I (along with several other members of the community) will be taking part in a performance of Verdi's Requiem this Friday (10/21/16) at 8 p.m. If you are in shouting distance, I would strongly encourage you to attend: I mean, full brass, orchestra, 130-some-odd voices, and some stellar soloists? It's going to be boss.
However, if you cannot, livestream that sucker here.
It is my first time being involved in this kind of a production like this. My voice was rather tired from the first tech-week rehearsal Tuesday, and my manager suggested that I might not actually sing on Tuesday night's rehearsal. See, the thing is, when the orchestra is roaring beneath you and you feel the bass drum reverberating in your chest, well, I honestly cannot tell you how loud I sang.
It's like being at a baseball game, when the home team hits a grand slam. You are no longer yourself but part of a cheering mass, rising to our feet and shouting without realizing your voice is hoarse entirely as one unit.
I invite you to come be a part of this, too. Come early to make sure you have a seat!
And if you need something to whet your appetite:
