It was two years ago that I played an opera with my orchestra, and today I want to tell you about that pleasant experience.

Esta vez, la compositora venezolana Diana Daniele presentó esta ópera en dos actos, con un formato para 5 solistas, coro y orquesta, que para esta oportunidad, fue interpretada por la Orquesta Sinfónica Juvenil José Francisco del Castillo, bajo la batuta de Ollantay Velásquez, orquesta a la cual pertenezco.
It is Faust, a classic German legend transformed into an opera. Originally, this format was composed in 5 acts and a large cast. It premiered in Paris on March 19, 1859.

The rehearsals for this concert were charged with a wonderful energy, we were all happy and anxious, I enjoyed to the fullest even the silent bars. The costumes, the voices of the soloists, the plot; I loved everything.
These rehearsals were held at the National Center of Social Action for Music, in the Fedora Alemán Hall and in the Simón Bolívar Hall. In the latter, the 2 performances of this opera took place.
Acá les dejo un fragmento de la segunda función de este concierto, espero que lo disfruten.I love to remember these kinds of experiences that music gives me, and being able to live them with my friends and colleagues fills me up even more. I hope to be back on stage soon and continue making music with the people I love.
