I thought I should probably update this since it has been awhile! I have been pretty busy the past few weeks. I have an audition for the Opera Grand Rapids on May 14 which I am pretty excited for. I had a comprimario audition scheduled but sadly I had to cancel due to kidney stones.. not fun!

I am also competiting in the Classical Singer Competition in Chicago on May 25. I made it to the second round.. so fingers crossed! It is a really great opportunity because grad schools from all over the united states will be there.

Finally, on June 2 I leave for Lucca, Italy for a month long program called Canta in Italia.

So I have been keeping pretty busy. I feel so blessed to be able to do everyday what I love so much! Also, thank you to everyone who has been so supportive over the past few years. I could never have done it without you!

 

Here is a recording from my recital for some listening!

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:27:00 -0800 Summer Opera Programs http://rtaustin.posterous.com/summer-opera-programs http://rtaustin.posterous.com/summer-opera-programs

So I finally got to record a CD in January! I recorded Glitter and Be Gay, the Doll Aria, Poor Wandring One, O Mio Babbino Caro, Willow Song, Green Finch and Linnet Bird, Batti Batti, O Bel Masetto, and The Sun Whore Rays are all Ablaze. So now I have been sending out applications to summer opera programs all over the world. Some in California, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, and even in Italy! I am trying to keep my fingers crossed and stay hopeful, but of course there have been MANY bumps in the road that have been getting me down. I am also planning a Senior Recital for March 22, so I am very busy, and stressed! But I have to keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end!

Hello! I am currently in the process of changing my Music Education based website into a performance based website for myself. I had to create this website for a music technology class, and now that the class is over I figured I may as well change it! So if you are viewing this there are different links to click on. I have some performances up and soon I will have more pictures up.

I can't stop listening to O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini. I just found out about an hour ago that I am going to learn this song. I am auditioning for summer opera programs this summer, some in Michigan, California and even in Italy, and I need two Italian Arias so this is one of them. Enjoy!
