Hello little list,
I'm so glad you are still here! I am still working on "Miss Havisham's
Wedding Night" for a late May performance. It is killing me. I'm excited to
have such an incredible role to sing, but the rhythms are killing me. Mozart
is "Caro Mio Ben" in comparison. (Well, I hope you know what I mean. It's
late.)
Anyway, aside from the technical difficulties, including preparing for a few
C's that are new to me, I'm confused with the non-singing role of Estella.
There is nothing in the score to tell me who she is. Her neice? Her
neighbor? A student? Her illegitimate child???? Miss Havisham calls her 'my
sweet, my pretty, my coney' and then gives her unsolicited advice about men.
Is there information out there somewhere? Anybody got a bead on Dominick
Argento? I looked him up on the internet, but there is nothing about the
intricacies of the plot.
I really want to get this right. Any suggestions?
