Opera

The show was fantastic - Noye's Fludde (Noah's Flood) - was really amazing.  It was a full on production in San Diego's Symphony Hall.  There was an orchestra that included kids and semi-professional musicians, there were a few ballet dancers (kids) along with about 200 kids playing different animals on the ark.    The main cast were extremely talented high school kids, the other choristers (including the girls) were all different animals with fantastically elaborate masks (which they each designed themselves).  Our girls were yellow birds! The opera was in a very biblical prose which definitely makes memorization more difficult for the kids, but this was the wish of the composer.  Check out this links:

I did an extensive search on youtube and there was a lot of video but NONE of the productions were as elaborate and impressive as what I saw today.  Since Friday the girls have spent 11 hours on rehearsals and then the performance.  Quite a task for little kids, but great organization and strong parental involvement (which I feel lucky to be part of) really helped pull this off.  I hope you can all make it to next years season finale!



Adventures

Today we are downtown for the girls opera. because of a marathon many roads were closed and I wanted take them out to eat right before
rehersal so we arrived around 10am. We walked for awhile and had a bite at a greasy spoon.















Rehersal was at noon and the show is not until 3 so I started walking and before I knew it bear was asleep in the stroller and rusty was looking tired so I put on my ergo carrier and tossed Russell in. He fell asleep smiling. Both boys slept about an hour while I walked around the streets of San Diego. I got some odd looks having a three year old strapped to my chest, but I was so glad to get them to nap! I hope this results in better behavior at the show...I will let y'all know!
