Hey All! I hope you enjoyed ringing in the new year a few days ago. Brenda and I spent a good part of New Years Eve with some friends of ours, but we were home before the clock struck midnight. I believe I've told you before about how Frankfurt erupts in fireworks at the start of the new year. This year was no different, but this time we had a great view of some revelers setting off fireworks in front of our apartment building.
Several of our neighbors setting off fireworks in the street.
Another view from our window.
As far as I could tell none of our neighbors were injured while playing with fire. Although, as seems to happen every year, we heard ambulance sirens shortly after the fireworks died down.
Brenda has had 5 of her 8 La Calisto performances. She'll have her last 3 performances between now and Saturday. On Sunday she will be going to Munich to start rehearsals for Die Entführung aus dem Serail. This will be Brenda's first time singing at the Bavarian State Opera and she is very excited.
I head back to the US on Friday. It's hard for me to believe that this time next week I'll already have had two days of classes. I don't really remember what was so stressful about the fall semester so I think that means I'm ready to start the spring semester. It will be hard to leave Brenda, but fortunately we won't have to be apart for long. She will be joining me in the US as soon as she's done with her gig in Munich. We are really racking up frequent flyer miles. I hope you all have a great week and one of us will talk to you next Tuesday!
