I'm an opera singer who can sings mezzo-soprano roles. That |
|
|
|
|
|
|
00 |
means I play a variety of young princes, kitchen boys, peasant |
|
|
1 |
girls and queens. Some composers, such as like Puccini, don't |
|
|
|
|
|
|
2 |
give to mezzo-sopranos any parts, but I have had a lot of work |
|
|
|
|
|
|
3 |
in every operas by Verdi and by contemporary composers. As I |
|
|
|
|
|
|
4 |
cannot afford to turn down good roles, sometimes I have a |
|
|
|
|
|
|
5 |
complicated timetable. Last year I have had to commute daily |
|
|
|
|
|
|
6 |
between Uruguay, where I was performing in the evening, and from |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7 |
Argentina, where I was rehearsing during the day. It's surprising |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8 |
what you can get used to do!! Rehearsing takes up most of an |
|
|
|
|
|
|
9 |
opera singer's time. By the end of this year I will have given |
|
|
|
|
|
|
10 |
63 performances, and had rehearsed almost every day of the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11 |
year. I always look forward to performing in the front of an |
|
|
|
|
|
|
12 |
audience. Recently my part in Greek meant I being on stage and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
13 |
singing for most of the 90 minutes of the performance. On the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14 |
other hand, in some operas I have a few lines to sing. Often |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15 |
when I get at home after a performance I can't sleep because the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
music is
still in my head. |
