Alas, I do love New York. Especially this beautiful time in spring when the weather is nice but before the garbage smell has gotten a foothold for summer.

I don’t always remember to update Bluesky so here are some photos from late April when I made my solo mainstage debut at @lyricopera.bsky.social. What a day!
Six performers stand onstage with a large, gilded auditorium behind them. They are beaming and quite sweaty after a very physical performance. Three are holding puppets of a monkey, a dog, and a parrot. One is wearing a big orange hair bow and one is wearing a headband of flowers A selfie of your poster wearing a camel-colored sweater over a maroon polo neck shirt. Next to my face is a dressing room sign at Lyric Opera of Chicago bearing my name A view of Lyric Opera of Chicago from the outside. Columns run down the block creating a portico and atop the entrance to the colonnade is a sign bearing the name of the opera house.

My new “rejuvenating eye patches” are GREEN green

How long have we been back to lime Skittles in America and what did we do to deserve this small mercy? Cc @domant.bsky.social
A bag of Skittles candy that clearly states in two places that green Skittles are LIME, and are not apple flavored

The fact that Maude Beaton is evil again is really messing with my brain.
A still from the movie “Mean Girls” shows red handwriting on a white page reading, “this girl is the nastiest skank bitch I’ve ever met. Do not trust her. She is a fugly slut!”

Who is this snowy diva above the pie shop in Evanston?

Doesn’t everyone do their recital planning by half candlelight?
An open notebook holding a green pen is at the right-hand side of a laptop. Both sit atop a dining table on which burn two tall tapers in a dim but not dark room.

Haven’t done a puzzle in ages (not even in 2020!), and this was a very fun reintroduction. Thanks, Jeni!

Live from rehearsal at Lyric Opera of Chicago. Covering here is such a joy, even with difficult material in a hard week.
