Short update

Richard and Tracy`s wedding, everything you could want and quick too--him in a linen suit, her in a cream beaded linen (É) dress.
Fell during Troika class, knee not too bad but not 100%.
someone has remapped this keyboard!
Lunch at the hotel, eh.
Dinner at a nice restaurant, hare with celeraic, czech wine. Then race off to see Don Giovanni, at the Estates theater, a baroque box, great staging, very good voices. The `My master has many lovers`s scene was completely hilarious. Death, Amore and Veangance--black dress woman, red dress man, purple dress man--very good.
After`s in Rollies room, cognac and photos from the day, good photographer!

Off to class. Today, 4 classes (I`ll probably skip two and keep stretching) and the Jazz ball tonight.

Hi there ([livejournal.com profile] thread_walker's apprentice here...)

I love reading your travelogue. Don Gioviani is one of my favorites, though I've never seen it performed. Sounds splendid.

You must see it some time!

It is Truely a Comic Opera, with great songs (the Servant leaving unless he gets money, the Book of Lovers) and the characters are one step derived from Commedia! Sometime we should act out a scene for fun...Villa Luna would love it!

Oh now you've done and given me an idea! Must mull over...

Take care of the Knee, but Don Gioviani is one of my most favorites...
