I have a surtitle gig that I’m behind on prepping, so in lieu of a longer post, here’s some random pictures from my camera roll this week:
Beautiful blue skies after a rainy week. There is a line from the opera I’m working on where one character sings: “Io vedo il cielo azzurro.” (“I see the blue skies.” ) It’s a line of hope and delusion- the character’s been waiting for her man to show up for three years now and never loses hope. I sing that line in my head a lot when I see beautifully blue skies.
Slice of life- sometimes the kids get a hold of my phone and take pictures when I’m not paying attention. It’s just me, putting my shoes on before I go to work.
I sent this picture to my 14 year old. She was taking the metro downtown with her friend and I wanted her to know which side to exit on. It was her first time taking the metro into DC without a grown up. I’m so proud that she figured it out.
So that’s life around here last week….
