Opera Is More Like A Melodrama

Just not cut out for it!

I have found something out about myself. Something very important. A bit disturbing, but reality and practicality must settle in!

I can't dance! At least right now. I just don't seem to have the inclination for it.

Being an artist, and an artsy person, and a deep feeling, emotional, shall I say romantic-leaning individual, I often envision myself doing ballet pirouettes and arabesques gracefully around the stage. It looks so easy. What beauty and elegance there is in this art.

Ha!

In two productions I am in this summer, I have found out that instead of gliding and leaping gracefully around stage, I rather clunk along and land heftily without so much as a 2 inch lift off the ground. How disturbing. I must be a sight for sore eyes, or at least a sight for Funniest Home Videos.

Oh well! All in good time. Perhaps this side of my art just isn't for me. Or perhaps someone will take pity on me and teach me. Or better yet, perhaps someday it will just settle in naturally and I shall fly around stage in my new found grace and elegance.

I'll keep you posted.
