Brenda on tour

Hey all! It's been quite a week for Brenda since she wrote to you last Tuesday. She's had three performances all in different cities spanning two countries. The day after her last performance she hopped on a plane to yet another city, New York, which is where she is currently recovering from a cold. I'm getting a cold just thinking about all of that traveling.

By all accounts (which is to say, from what Brenda tells me), the performances were all very successful. All three of the female singers were sick for the performance in London, and an announcement was made before the performance to warn the audience. I'm guessing the the audience wouldn't have known the difference, but an announcement is comforting to the singers. It provides them with an excuse ahead of time in case a lung pops out during an aria. 

First stop: Paris

 Second stop: Birmingham

This performance happened to coincide with Brenda's birthday. Happy Birthday, Brenda!

 Third stop: London

It's not fair. I never look that good when I'm sick.

Brenda's next performance is in Ann Arbor, MI on Sunday, and I'm going. Actually, I'm hitching a ride with my parents. I may even volunteer to drive, although they'll need to read legal decisions to me so I'm prepared for class next week. It'll be nice to get out of town for a while; during the semester it's easy to forget that there is a world outside of law school.

I should call it a night, but before I do, let me call your attention to the brief blog entry I posted over the weekend. Brenda did an interview with the conductor of Radamisto on BBC 3 last Thursday. You can listen to the interview and hear Brenda sing two arias by clicking on the link in the previous post. Just so you know, the interview will only be available for another day or two.

I hope you have a great week, and one of us will talk to you next Tuesday!
