London

Working with the lovely Maria Fiselier from the National Opera Studio in London.

With the GRANDE Robin Leggate - leaving his comfy retirement to take part in our little Donna del Lago. What a joy it was to share the stage with him again!

Massenet's Cendrillon boasts 4 major female roles, and to share the stage with not only such wonderful singers and artists, but such AMAZING ladies? Yes, it was a real gift! I'm not sure why Alice Coote didn't make it into this happy picture, but Eglise Guitterez and Eva Poodles certainly filled the bill! HEAVEN!

Photography: Joyce DiDonato. London. Before opening night, when I was walking (ah, the good ol' days!), I had ONE day off before the final dress rehearsal, and happily London cooperated with me mightily in giving me beautiful weather for a day of photography. I wish I had had a month to see more of this wonderful city, but I'll take the one day – it gave me some lovely shots! This is the famous

After the opening night, before the news of the broken fibula broke, I took a few moments to toast the cast and thank them for their help in getting me through the show. (Come to find out, the glass of champagne helped me to face the 4 hours in the emergency room which followed!) Juan Diego was a star on opening night, and to sing Rossini with him is a joy.

We hated to see it come to an end (although we were all ready to get home!), but having such a fabulous cast like this makes everything so enjoyable - and SPECIAL!

Without wanting to miss one moment, I grabbed my camera, snuck into the wings and had a BALL watching these two GIANTS of the opera world work their magic. I never tired of watching the two of them interact together, and think that it was quite simply a lesson of perfection on the operatic stage. Brilliant!! July, 2009

Photography: Joyce DiDonato. London. Ah, the joy of having friends who don't mind pushing you around! My dear friends, Bill & Kevin, who have made it a delightful habit to travel in the summers to visit us, took a day off of sightseeing to push me around, eat Indian food, and laugh our way around the city of London. It was exactly a Doctor's prescription, but it did me a world of good. Thanks, boys! July, 2009
