Looking back
We've been back in Pittsburgh for just over a week now and the hectic allbeit enjoyable nature of working at an Opera Company is in full swing with Madama Butterfly in performances and preperation for L'Elisir damore underway. I thought I would take a moment to share a few favorite pictures of mine after a brief glance through the over 500 that I took.
Our first evening in Napoli we had the pleasure of meeting and dining with the Scheetz and McCormick Families of Pittsburgh and Rhode Island. Here's a little shot of us at a trattoria in Napoli on the water. Pardon my lack of dinner atire, this was during the missing luggage days!
Two of the pictures are of ancient temples built to Athena and Poseido that we saw them in Paestum. It's so hard to imagine that they date back to 500 BC and are still some of the "youngest" ruins we saw.

Below is a beautiful fresco inside an ancient, Roman bathouse.
This is the organ inside the Cathedral in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Not quite as ancient, but still lovely.
These were a few favorites of mine. More pictures to come as I can sort through them!

As an operaphile and a former Pittsburgher, I hope you'll get your blog back up and running - I would've loved to have read something about Anthony Walker's singing debut from the insiders!
