Dear Cindy,
I do appreciate your advice. Donna Anna may be too difficult. I
agree with you that it is what I make the aria, to be unique and
beautiful. I just simply do not have the vast knowledge of
repetoire to select something. I am in a stage of technical singing
and I know I couldn't sing a challenging piece like "Quando Men'Vo"
because I require much more control in my breathing and a softer
top. Although I consider myself to be in a first semester, to be
clearer, I have studied voice for five years, although I am not in a
degree progam. I am fairly new at Opera though, having the
equivilent of about a year and 1/2, and I am quite profficient at
singing Italian.
I have been working on O Mio Babbino Caro and Lascia Ch'io Pianga
and music from the 26 Italian Arias.
Faithfully Yours,
Julie
