The Ghost of Pirates Past

7/8/2014

0 Comments

 
This week I'm helping with the Gilbert and Sullivan summer program at Opera Naples that I participated in for the last 5 years. They are doing The Pirates of Penzance which was the first show I did with the program when I started five years ago. That experience changed my life and helped me discover my love for opera, and working with Pamela Bilik (our director and a dear friend) on this year's production has dug up some incredible memories from my past. Not only have I been reminded of one of my most enjoyable experiences but I have also been able to look back and see just how much I have grown as a musician, performer, and person since I was a part of this show. And now I get to experience the other side (being the director's assistant) and help give this new group of performers a, hopefully, equally amazing experience that they will happily remember five years down the road. 

I feel so fortunate to be involved with these incredible people as they remind me why I love doing what I do!
