Shameless plugging, May 2010 edition

[chanaleh]

I'm singing Tessa in mitgsp's The Gondoliers! It opens in 11 days! You should all come see it! (Seriously, it's adorable. Plus -- Venice! Oh, it's too much happiness!)

Then, Honorable Menschen (now featuring cycon!) is once again joining Techiya to open for their spring concert, 8pm on Sunday, May 9 (a.k.a. Mother's Day). It's FREE! You should all come see it!

Lastly, for those who missed ncfo's Springtime for Haman last month (in which I played Haman's wife Zeresh), footage is now up on a new NCFamilyOpera YouTube channel! You can even see just my scene (with the illustrious SCO#1 as Haman): part 1, part 2, and part 3. Yay!

... There was more, but right now I forget. BED NAO PLZ. *zonk*

Bravissima! *Applause and whistles* I love it, particularly your solo in the second clip. I must say, though, that while a sympathetic Zeresh, not simply prophesying her husband's doom but actively urging him to avoid it, is certainly a plausible interpretation of her one line in the original text, I'm not entirely sold on the sympathetic Haman (y"sh). He is, after all, our very own "two minutes' hate" guy, and for good (if historically fictional in his case) reason.

I'm curious: why is the opera, which from these excerpts anyway seems to be a straightforward drama, called Springtime for Haman, suggesting a more typical Purim-spiel tone? Or was your scene an exception to the overall mood?

Is there a facebook invite for the concert on Mother's Day? I don't know that I can make it--Mother's Day is not a particularly happy day for me, but I might if it turns out I can. Thanks for posting about it:)

I heard about #1.
Still, break legs, break balls!
