So Bohème is over. I never grow weary of the music. It is just a great opera to play and I will certainly miss it.

Now I have a week off of performing (just in time for me to sew costumes for our son who will be Toad in “Frog & Toad”) and then Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. Woo hoo! More great music!
