Saturday, June 28

I’ve been staying up late for the past 2/3 days. I tried singing “Ecco ridente in cielo” with Milos playing, but have a hard time singing lightly. I have to work on it hard, because I know how much Ms. Horne knows about the repertoire, and I want to make sure that, at least, vocally, I can handle the aria.

I only have one coaching and that was with Warren Jones for the chorus rehearsal of La Clemenza di Tito. After that, I stayed at Cate School. Later in the evening, I accompanied Erica and Dexter to go to Downtown Santa Barbara, but didn’t do much because most stores were closed, even Coffee Bean. After that, I stayed late again. Most of my colleagues were drinking and some were smoking, but I didn’t do either. I was just there to listen to conversations and stories.
