So many lovely things in Atlanta - cute mountain town squares, tons of movies and shows and operas to watch, mall art installations, baking at home, nature to explore, food to eat - but the loveliest thing is definitely @teddibear222 💖 (who I have now successfully gotten obsessed with opera mezzos via Kate Lindsey and who is now sharing allll my Clemenza feels 😁)

@teddibear222 and i GOT THIS BREAD ❤️ (and we’re gonna put some Georgia peach jelly from Dahlonega on it!)

Sesto, what have you got?
A KNIFE!

Mozart’s “Tito” runs Dec 1, 6, and 8 at @CometOpera - find the FB event in my bio link!!

I am SO FREAKIN LUCKY. Do you know what’s in front of me? An entire mini orchestra that’s playing Mozart. And we get to sing with them. Guys there are violins. There are violins and violas and a clarinet and an oboe and and our wonderful pianist and the others will be here on Friday and I am just sitting here so freakin happy. It sounds so REAL. 💖 (Come see @CometOpera’s Tito Dec 1 at the Dallas Public Library and Dec 6 and 8 on campus)

I love this quote so much. And the Leonard Bernste

I love this quote so much. And the Leonard Bernstein one that always accompanies it in my mind: “To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.” Keep your fingers crossed for @CometOpera’s “Tito”! #Repost @opera.nova with @get_repost

sous le dôme épais
deux soeurs chantent en français
l’une joue bien, et son art crée
et c’est son rire que je préfère,
elle ne cache pas son sourire.
l’amour est une soeur lontaine,
qui a dix-neuf ans maintenant
viens, gagnons le jour
quand on se revoit
et les soeurs, les soeurs chantent.
Happy birthday ya nerd @laurencarisssa, go rock everyone’s socks today and every day ❤️🌻❤️

Guess where I am! @americanbaroqueopera for my first French baroque! (And scoping out the @sammons_center’s new setup a bit for Opera in Concert’s upcoming Gilbert and Sullivan concert 😉)

According to Facebook I painted this sweatshirt 6 years ago, and I’m pretty sure I’ve reused it for three or four Halloweens since - you can’t beat comfy, simple, and an excellent character ❄️

It was so hard to get a curtain call shot of the riot of color that was @thedallasopera’s magic flute!! Shoutout to seeing the legendary @samantha.hankey live for the first time, discovering the charming @acsoprano, and pointing out all the Clemenza crossover content with Avanti. (And an extra shoutout to the audience member who yelled “NEIN” when Papageno asked for a yes or no. You tried 😆)

I love the difference between the vehemence of Han

I love the difference between the vehemence of Handel’s Sesto singing “traditore,” and the disgust and pain of Mozart’s Sesto singing it. Things are a lot simpler when you’re not the traitor! .

If you missed last Sunday’s Opera on Tap performance, come hear me swear vengeance and read fortunes again this Sunday in the @muphiepsilondal recital series at the @dallaspubliclibrary! 📸 Ed Flaspoehler.

Sometimes the Emerging Media History readings are

Sometimes the Emerging Media History readings are useful for more than course objectives! Carly Kocurek's descriptions of the "technomasculine," the cultural archetype of the heroic boy gamer, could all be easily extended to hacker/techie Sesto's characterization in @CometOpera's "Tito" - young, reckless, isolated, anxious to prove himself, prone to breaking rules and causing trouble that may or may not backfire on the ones he cares about. (Quotes all from Kocurek's "Coin-Operated Americans," about American video game history and culture.)

She’s beauty, she’s grace
I love this person’s face
She’s cute as heck and tough as nails
Her sense of humor never fails
I love her love for kids and pets
And I hope today she gets
Starbucks or something nice because it’s her 22nd birthday and I love her and she deserves all the fun ❤️❤️❤️ happy birthday @allison_ivey_ !!

Y’all the @dallastheatercenter ushers will point you to THE BEST SEATS if you just ask 💖 Can’t wait to see @tiffanydesena @tia3kaye @chrisllewynramirez @megasmile and everyone else rock #InTheHeightsDTC!!

It's hard to think of two looks further apart than last week's Glinda and this week's chimney sweep! Hashtag one-week 180? 😁 (Featuring our fabulous Mary Poppins and choir director, Amanda Hollis!) We have one week left of Broadway services - tune in next Sunday for Hairspray!

It’s not every church where you get to sing “Popular” in full glittery drag queen fabulosity - twice in one day! And wow, people LOVED the music- they didn’t even let the finale accompaniment finish before they were ON THEIR FEET applauding. This really is a tiny but mighty choir. 💖
