Dan and I had a great time at our local park, hearing three singers from Opera San José. Bravi tutti to Katharine Gunnink, Mason Gates and Colin Ramsey, and the wonderful pianist Veronika Agranov-Dafoe. Veronika’s daughter Miranda did the page turning … something I’ve vowed NEVER to do after having done it once. It’s too stressful! I’d rather play an oboe solo.
Here are a few photos. I wound up with a pole right in my way, but so it goes ….

Today is going to be one hot day here in San Jose. I suggest heading out to Bramhall Park (Willow Street Park to us oldsters) to enjoy some opera later on today. I’m hopeful that it will be cooling off by then.
