Come see Miss Stacey Sing!

It is with great excitement that, I (Miss Stacey) announce that I will soon be in an Opera production!  You are all invited to attend.  You probably have ideas of what Opera is like.   You picture very loud, humdrum singing with overly dramatic vocalists portraying the most unrealistic characters and storyline imaginable.  Well, you’re partly correct, but it’s not humdrum by any means. It is very enjoyable! The show I’ll be in is especially audience friendly and full of variety.  We will feature operas by Gounod, Bellini, Salieri, Nicolai, Verdi and Vaughan Williams. There will be laughing, action (sword fights, men!), weeping, and even more laughter!

I dream of one day standing on the open stage of a big name Opera house singing the glorious role of Carmen.  Really, any role they might give me at first would be great!  At the end of this month, I come one step closer to that dream. I will perform with the Tacoma Opera Company in a production of A Midwinter Night’s Dream on January 31^st at 8PM and February 1^st at 2PM. Buy tickets online or call 253-627-7789.

Parents, I do have lofty dreams of filling a ginormous Opera theatre with only the sheer strength of my own organic PA system (diaphragm, lungs, etc). But that dream will not take me away from your adorable children for many moons, if ever (my employers breathe a huge sigh of relief).J

I do hope you’ll come and enjoy a laugh or two. You’ll see your teacher play the roles of Juliet and Romeo in various versions of Romeo and Juliet. How can I play them both, you wonder? You’ll just have to come and see!
