Sunday was a lazy day and felt well earned. I called my mother in the UK, which is a usual Sunday occurance and caught up with things there. She is looking forward to seeing us next month when we go to England and Scotland for some concerts. I haven't seen my family there for over a year now, so we have pretty big phone bills.
Brian and I went out for dinner quite late, and I had some excellent tuna. Went to bed quite late but had enjoyed a day of not really doing anything.
Monday I got up reasonably early for me and did some work on my music for my next engagement in Barcelona. I am doing two concerts at the Liceu Opera House. They are concerts to show the classical influence on Wagner and quite and unusual program. They are all things I have done before though some not very recently. I had my eggs and then got ready to go into the opera offices to have a coaching session with Susanna Lemberskaya, who has been working on 'Ariadne' and was kind enough to fit me in for an hour's work. We went through most of the arias I will be doing in Barcelona and I felt better for having a chance to go through them.
After a nice chat about favorite TV programs with some of the young artists, I walked back in the rain, which I enjoyed, though even for me it was a bit cold!
Spent the evening watching TV and reading and my husband cooked a delicious dinner. Early night tonight with another show tomorrow.
Tomorrow there is discussion after the performance where any audience members can come and ask questions of the cast. I haven't been reading the comments I hear some people have posted on this blog, but it was mentioned that someone had asked if I would sign CDs. I am always happy to sign and meet the audience, so if you are reading this and coming tomorrow, or later in the week, please feel free to come and say hello.
