What a whirlwind first week! We are already done staging Act I of La Périchole! It's such a fun opera! We began music rehearsal for my main scene, the Ladies of the Court, which opens Act 2 today. It's speedy, trying to fit in all that French on 8th and 16th notes, whew! Our trip to Bordeaux was lovely. We went to an outdoor market and ate al fresco in the public garden and then took a short tour of the Cathedral where Eleonore of Aquitaine was married. I am falling more and more in love with this place. There was a really cool outdoor market Wednesday night and I got to hear some good live music. It was a cool brass band from Southern France. Still trying to figure out uploading video. I can already hear fireworks from my room! Happy Bastille Day! I learned the joys of the Croissant Abricot this week!
