Do you like opera?

Image
Welcome to December. Do you like opera?  I am liking it more and more. So much so that l am tutoring a class about opera next year. This will be the first time l've tutored any class and l'm a bit nervous but also looking forward to it. I'm also going to be talking about the music, which l like more and more now.  If you have any favourite operas let me know. Wish me luck.

Are you a library member?  If so, does your library have Borrow Box and Libby? I love libraries and hope they continue for many years. As l have said before l mainly listen to audiobooks these days and l get most of them from Borrow Box and Libby. Libraries offer so much.

Can you sing in tune?

Can you sing in tune? Are you comfortable singing in public? Are you a member of a choir?  I saw The Australian Chamber Choir on the weekend. What a treat. And it got me wondering why l couldn't sing like that. Of course l can sing, we can all sing, it's just that l don't sing in tune. No one, and l mean no one, wants to hear me sing. That's why l call myself an arts patron. Check out the video to hear what l thought of the choir. www.auschoir.com
