Making Memories


My Last Day

I've been in NYC since last Tuesday to see one of my good friends perform at The Met. The production was lovely....and we went to every other opera and classical music event available to us. Today, I meet with my old boss from the Lyric who is now one of the producers at the NY Philharmonic....there is a possible job opportunity for this upcoming year. We'll see....fingers crossed. Other than that and eating from every food cart imaginable, I've not done too much (I fell down my stairs a few weeks ago and rolled my ankle, so sometimes walking proves to be a bit painful). Even with the small amount of exposure I've had, I'm in love with this place and never want to leave. I suppose I have to continue with my real life and work towards something greater, but the idea of just leaving everything behind is quite appealing right now.
I feel like I've learned so much about myself in a week, and have plans for the future that I couldn't quite see prior.
Well, I must go get ready. Hope you all are beautiful!

Pre-Op(era)

Was it yesterday or the day before? I can't quite remember because I've gone to The Met everyday for the past week.
Either way, we were waiting for The Tempest to begin...and this photo was quite possibly the best part of that two hour time span....
I generally like to find redeeming qualities in anything musical and otherwise, but the opera was HORRIBLE! The production looked stunning, but the music made me feel physically ill. We left during intermission (which I've never done).
Any way it goes though, we're in New York and experiencing what life has to offer two poor not-so-starving artists.
I hope you all are well. I'll check in again soon.
Bisous!

Subway Musicians

This is the first time I've seen subway musicians who were actually good....the song reminds me of my Grams.
