I dodged a bullet in Phonology this morning; or, rather, stopped it in the air, Matrix-style. I'd forgotten we were supposed to find a phonological rule in some language we know, hypothesize a similar language with one related difference, and modify the rule to fit this language. So I did it when I got there. Ha. And then I did my Tonal Counterpoint over lunch. That went by fast, as did Rep (RUSSIANS!), and then I led Dan and Katie to Yildizlar for lunch for an hour. While Dan was at his meeting, I got some Quechua books from the library for the Phonology presentation I got volunteered for on Wednesday. I was still there when Dan came to get me from my house (the PM stacks are impossible to navigate), but I got home in time to get stuff and go to his house for a nap while he worked on his Invention before rehearsal.
It was long and taxing, even for us supers, so I can't imagine how the real roles feel, but I think it went really well, for first orchestra dress. I'm deathly excited about it. You should all come. Here's the promo they give us:
Famous musical composer Kurt Weill's opera, Street Scene is based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play of the same name by Elmer Rice. Set in the late 1940's, this opera is full of flavorful music, pulling from styles such as jazz, Gershwin, and even some Wagnerian motifs. The opera tells the story of a community of people living in a lower-middle class Brownstone in New York and the search for love amidst the mundane things of life. Weill hoped to bring popular forms of music, towards that which he already felt a great affinity, into collision with the 'classical' or European form of opera, and out of that combination produced a new "American Opera" which would not only entertain the public, but provide artistic inspiration and rebirth to the musical scene in the United States. Street Scene captures the disillusionment and bitterness precipitated by the catastrophe of the depression and yet, somehow, also the resilience of the human spirit in search of redemption from a lost life.

So I'm exhausted and overwhelmed with the crazy amount of papers I have to write over the next short amount of time, but I got a message from Stephan during rehearsal around 10 saying where was I, Bryan was asking after me, they miss me... and Dan was indignant. So I feel appreciated and can't complain.
