lots of Rossini!

NYIOP put the final lists of companies that are coming as well as which roles they are casting. Lots of Rossini! Wish I had this ready. Next year!

I spent much of today readying my resume and bio and assembling my portfolio. It's very fancy and I'm super excited. Things have changed since I was last in the biz, and it's exciting.


Oh, and sweet Paul added some audio to ellenmoeller.com, so check it out and let me know what you think! I plan to sing Furibondo for them, since they are clearly looking for some coloratura.


I hired a car (hee!), called a pianist (haven't heard back from him yet), checked out the Family Circle Met tickets for La Fille de Régiment (Kiri Te Kanawa! Laurence Brownlee! Ann Murray!) and reserved my spot at the airport car park. I'm almost ready!
