Last week at Roland Straße

Hi everyone! We still don't have internet at the new apartment, but the chairs at my favorite coffeehouse are more comfortable than anything we will ever have. So it is ok. Kind of.

Not much interesting to report... I taught another baroque dance class for musicians last Saturday, and I may POSSIBLY (oh please oh please oh please oh please) direct a production of The Fairy Queen that the music conservatory is doing this April. An opera! It will be very scaled down, if it actually happens, and I probably just jinxed it by mentioning it here, but it is much more interesting to share such a piece of news when the possibility exists rather than when it doesn't happen.

I've been working hard on the monkey blanket for Jean-Philippe.

Speaking of our little monsieur, I went to listen to friend's concert last Sunday, and Jean-Philippe didn't move around very much when she played Jean-Philippe Rameau. Boo. If he had started kicking and twirling, then we would have had to just keep the name. Beate and I will go see Rameau's "La Paladins" on Sunday, so the boy will get another chance.

We are trying to have a Carnival/Chinese New Year/Valentine's Day/Housewarming Party Feb. 14th. IF we finish working on the apartment and I figure out how to make sesame balls.

Is the Fairy Queen the show you did in Italy? That would be exciting to direct.
Talking about monkeys, wait until you open a package coming your way!
We went to Daria's blog, but could only comment as Charles (just in case Daria wonders who that is).

oooh, a package!

That IS the same opera I did in Italy, so IF I do get to direct it, I will have to banish what Deda did from my head. But at least the music will be very familiar.
