Tomorrow morning I go in to have my hearing checked. The doctor suggested I return in 6 months, rather than the usual year, since my hearing is rather important for my career. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. I still have tinnitus, and I think I still have the same amount of problems with my left ear. But I don’t think anything is worse. I hope they confirm that!
After the hearing test I move on to the first rehearsal for Marriage of Figaro. Can’t beat Mozart! It’s a long opera, though. I get spoiled by our under-three-hour operas. This one won’t be quite like that. But it’s work … and I do love getting back to work. Playing work, that is. 🙂
