Dutch not Deutsch

Hey All! Things in Germany have been very wet lately. It has been raining almost everyday and the sun's appearances have been few and far between. Luckily the bad weather hasn't kept Brenda from rehearsals and performances but it has put a bit of damper on Frankfurt's usual charm. I'm sure we'll see the sun again sometime over the next six months.

On Sunday Brenda performed her first revival of the season. The show was Orlando Furioso. Brenda was in the show when it first premiered last season. If you would care to look at pictures of the production you can do so here. I had the pleasure of being in the audience on Sunday and enjoyed Brenda's performance thoroughly.

Last Saturday Brenda and I went to Wiesbaden to hear Handel's Messiah performed in a beautiful church. Our friend Florian did an exceptional job singing the bass solos. A boys chorus made up the choir. I had never heard a boys chorus live before. I am happy to report the kids did a great job.

This weekend Brenda and I both have trips planned. Brenda is going to New York to work with her voice teacher. She will be arriving back in Germany on Thanksgiving. On Saturday, I will be headed up to Amsterdam to visit our friends Kris and Drew. I have been wanting to go to Amsterdam for a long time so I am really looking forward to the trip.

I hope you have a great week and I'll be sure to send you a post from Amsterdam!
