Under a Week!

In just under a week I will be getting on a plane to head to Italy! It's all starting to feel incredibly real! It's been a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience working up to leaving, with many university assignments and ensembles to learn, ranging from Cavalli and Monteverdi scenes to the Sextet from Lucia di Lammermoor and the incredibly fast Fugue from Falstaff! The photos below are from fundraising concert 1/3 at the St Andrews College Chapel in March.

Before I head down to Urbania, where the school is based, I am having a few days in Milan to be a bit of a tourist. The first day I get there I am going to be attending Don Giovanni at La Scala starring Thomas Hampson, so you will no doubt be hearing about that! 

The School itself doesn't start until the 5th, with Italian Language classes all morning Monday to Friday and coachings and rehearsals in the afternoons. the above photo shows the beautiful town we will be staying in, Urbania, which hosts the language school we are attending, Centro Studi Itali. 

That's all for now, but be on the look out for further updates in the coming weeks!
