We're in the final week of dress rehearsals for Lawrence Opera Works, and the music is sounding great! I'm having a great time working with fellow singers and pianists. We open Friday with a free performance in Prairie Village before our weekend of performances at the Lawrence Arts Center Saturday-Monday. Here's what I get to do each night:

August 19, 7:30 pm at Asbury United Methodist Church, Prairie Village, MO
"Me voici dans son boudoir" (aria) from Mignon

August 20-22 at the Lawrence Arts Center, Lawrence, KS:

August 20, 7:30 pm
"It's Kind of Hard to Explain" from Picnic
"Votre Toast" from Carmen

August 21, 4:30 pm
"Matchmaker" from Fiddler on the Roof
"Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide

August 22, 7:30 pm
"Duet and Quartet Tableau 1" from Eugene Onegin
"Hal's Grand Scena / Madge's Lament" from Picnic
"Libiamo ne' lieti calici" from La Traviata

It's just 2 weeks til the opening of Lawrence Opera Works, so rehearsals are revving up! I'll be performing in "Matchmaker" from Fiddler on the Roof, the opening quartet from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, and two scenes from the contemporary opera Picnic by Forrest Pierce, plus arias and chorus numbers. Read more at the Lawrence Opera Works website and be sure to catch a performance (or more than one...each night is different!) August 19-22.
