Closing the Curtain

Yesterday was my final performance for the Va Opera in the production of Eugene Onegin, and I now sit in my cubicle at my day job and I am already missing that whole experience. Sad but true.

Now matter how often I sit backstage in private silence to try and take in the moment for what it was worth, I still end up hurting on the day after. Knowing that I will not be joining the cast of the Operas anymore for a while is a really daunting thought right about now, even if it is temporary.

One memory that I will always keep with me is when the ENTIRE chorus sang Happy Birthday to me in full voice. Since this is tradition for everyone's birthday I had expected it, but in another sense I was totally unprepared. Although a part of me had wanted to speak to the chorus to express my gratitude, the words escaped my mind as I became so emotionally moved. There is no doubt that I will always keep in my heart just how magical the stage can be when working with such talented castmembers, and I will hold on to this throughout my time in school at ECPI.
