Fußball

Hey All! I just got back from rehearsal and let me tell you, it is gorgeous outside. The temperature is in the mid 60s, there is a mild breeze and there isn't a cloud in the sky. This is my kind of weather.

My rehearsal was fun. We were on stage for the first time tonight, which I really enjoyed. It's great to sing in a big hall and it always helps to move around on the real set. The show opens Sunday so I'll be sure to tell you how it goes next week.

La Giuditta, the opera Brenda is currently singing, opened on Saturday. There are only 4 singers in the cast of La Giuditta and, therefore, each singer gets a lot of opportunity to sing. Brenda has 6 arias of her very own which, I might add, were all beautifully sung on Saturday night. The audience loved the show and, as far as we can tell, the critics did too. If you would like to check out some of the photos from the production you can do so here.

In other news, Brenda and I watched a whole soccer (or "football" to the rest of the world) game the other night. Apparently, there is this thing called the World Cup going on in South Africa. Who knew? We watched the Germans destroy the Australians and it was quite enjoyable. We were, of course, rooting for Germany. And speaking of things Germany has won recently, you should check out the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Well, that's pretty much all I've got for this week. Brenda and I are moving out of our apartment at the end of the month and we're pretty excited about it. Not that our apartment is bad or anything, it will just be nice to have a change of pace.

Oh, one more thing. I'm sure you've noticed that I've gotten into the habit of posting pictures each week. Well, we didn't take any pictures this week but I've included one anyway. Have a great week!
