Hola, Queridos Hivers!
Despu茅s de unos meses de preparaci贸n, por fin hicimos el recital que m谩s estaba esperando: el de 贸peras!
En este recital cada quien ten铆a que escoger 2 arias y al menos un ensamble de alguna 贸pera para presentarlo en el recital de fin de a帽o escolar, que fue ayer Mi茅rcoles 9 de Julio.
Yo escog铆 una aria de Susanna de Las Bodas de F铆garo: "Deh, vieni, non tardar", y de una 贸pera que me recomend贸 mi maestro, Rodelinda de Handel, escog铆 el aria "Ho perduto il caro sposo" y un dueto para soprano y contratenor "Io t'abraccio", para el cual invit茅 a mi compa帽ero 脕ngel L贸pez.
Me gust贸 mucho trabajar con 茅l porque ambos ten铆amos ideas parecidas y siempre encontr谩bamos la manera de ponernos de acuerdo cuando no era as铆. Adem谩s de que compartimos esas ganas de inventar jajaja, algo que obviamente hicimos jejeje.
Tuve que faltar a los primeros ensayos porque estaba recibiendo tratamiento esos d铆as, as铆 que me sent铆a un poco insegura con mi trabajo, pero gracias a Dios, el maestro repertorista pudo conseguir que ensay谩ramos un d铆a extra en el que nos enfocamos en varias cosas importantes.
La b煤squeda del vestuario fue un poco estresante, pero divertida al mismo tiempo.
Mi idea principal era usar negro, ya que el personaje Rodelinda est谩 de luto, y luego solo ponerme un velo para el papel de Susanna, quien estar铆a por casarse.
Peeero, hablando con el maestro coincidimos en que usar negro para la parte de Susanna no era lo ideal, as铆 que buscando ideas en pinterest me encontr茅 con una blusa muy parecida a una que ten铆a en Cuman谩, as铆 que r谩pidamente le ped铆 a una amiga el favor de que me la enviara por MRW, y la retiramos dos d铆as antes del concierto.
Bueno, y todo lo dem谩s fue f谩cil de conseguir, gracias a Dios 馃檶馃徎
La ma帽ana del concierto, me levant茅 muy temprano a maquillarme y a peinarme, para luego ir al banco de sangre a recibir mi peque帽a inyecci贸n de Metotrexate, y de all铆 tomar un bus que nos dejar铆a a unas cuadras del conservatorio.
Desafortunadamente, hab铆a algo de tr谩fico... pero llegu茅 justo a tiempo!
Vocalic茅, me cambi茅, y lista para el show!
Disfrut茅 mucho el concierto, me divert铆 como no tienen una idea!
Que feliz me siento de poder hacer esto que tanto amo!
Ac谩 les dejo los videos (me tom茅 el trabajo de pegar mis tres presentaciones), para que me vean llorando por perder a mi esposo, recuperarlo y despedirme nuevamente de 茅l, y m谩s adelante cambiar completamente de personaje y estar por casarme jejeje
Agradecida con Dios, con la m煤sica y contigo por leer 馃挏
Hello, dear Hivers!
After a few months of preparation, we finally had the recital I'd been looking forward to the most: the opera recital!
For this recital, everyone had to choose two arias and at least one ensemble from an opera to present at the end-of-year recital, which was yesterday, Wednesday, July 9th.
I chose an aria from Susanna's The Marriage of Figaro: "Deh, vieni, non tarda," and from an opera my teacher recommended, Handel's Rodelinda, I chose the aria "Ho perduto il caro sposo" and a duet for soprano and countertenor, "Io t'abraccio," for which I invited my classmate 脕ngel L贸pez.
I really enjoyed working with him because we both had similar ideas and always found a way to agree even when we didn't. Plus, we share that desire to invent, haha, something we obviously did, hehe.

I had to miss the first rehearsals because I was receiving treatment those days, so I felt a little insecure about my job, but thankfully, the repertoire director was able to arrange an extra day for us to rehearse, so we could focus on several important things.
The wardrobe search was a little stressful, but fun at the same time.
My main idea was to wear black, since the character Rodelinda is in mourning, and then just wear a veil for the role of Susanna, who was about to get married.
But, talking with the director, we agreed that wearing black for Susanna's part wasn't ideal. So, searching for ideas on Pinterest, I found a blouse very similar to one I had in Cuman谩. I quickly asked a friend to send it to me via MRW, and we picked it up two days before the concert.
And well, the others things weren't that hard to get! Thanks God馃檶馃徎
The morning of the concert, I got up really early to do my makeup and hair, then went to the blood bank to get my little methotrexate injection, and from there, took a bus that would drop us off a few blocks from the conservatory.
Unfortunately, there was some traffic... but I got there just in time!
I sang, changed, and was ready for the show!
I really enjoyed the concert; I had fun like you can't imagine!
I'm so happy to be able to do what I love so much!
Here are the videos (I took the time to post my three presentations), so you can see me crying over losing my husband, getting him back, saying goodbye to him again, and later completely changing my character and getting married, hahaha.
Thankful to God, to music, and to you for reading 馃挏
