It has been awhile. So much has happened since I last updated. I will try and fill you in as much as I can. So after the Wachau trip I had a lot of school work and I still have a lot of school work. German is progressively getting harder and harder. No one really did well on the last test that we took. I told the teacher that I didn't feel that we covered the material adequately and she took it as I didn't study enough and I didn't prepare. We have learn so many things and it is to hard to process everything. Life is grand though. I'm working really hard on my recital and I have a lot to look forward to. I feel that my voice has changed a lot since I have been here and it is going to keep on changing. I'm sad I won't be working with my Amazing Voice Teacher and my Amazing Coach! They are really happy about the progress that I have made this semester. This weekend I plan on going to Budapest, Hungary and I want to go to the spas to relax, the opera house, and explore more of Europe. I hear it is absolutely beautiful. I will take a ton of pictures as I usually do and put them online for all of you to see.
I have gone to the Opera a lot recently. I went and saw la sonnambula with Jaun Diego Florez and Natalie Dessay! They are unbelievable. I got to meet them after the performance as well. I also went to Rigoletto with Dmitri Hvorstovsky - one of my idols! He was great. I would have never seen him in the states and if I wanted to tickets would have been so expensive. The opera is something that just calms me down and is so relaxing. Tonight I'm going to I Puritani by Bellini. It should be really great.
Next weekend I will be going to Salzburg and I will get to see all things related to the Sound of Music and also Mozart. I still haven't bought a gift for myself since I have been here. I want something that will remind me of Vienna, Europe, or Austria all the time but I still can't think of anything. Who knows I have another month to find something that will remind me of all the AMAZING times that I have had here. I know this is a short entry but I have to go study for a big German test tomorrow. Wish me Luck!!!!!
Tschüß Ba Ba,
Ben
