Looking forward to Zurich and Le Cid with Jose Cura

Last year (2007) was mostly good with just few regrets. I regret not going to Switzerland for Agnes Baltsa concert tour, money and time was the problem. A bit health issues, maybe too. But I did see two concerts in 2006 with AB in Vienna and Munich and the concerts in Switzerland was almost completely alike to 2006. So that makes it all right. And December is not the best month to travel and certainly not close to Christmas or New Year. In Oslo Airport there were big problems some with weather but the biggest problems was with luggage on Christmas eve. So it was great not to be traveling.

First opera live in 2008 will be Le Cid by Massenet in Zurich with José Cura as Rodrigue. Isabelle Kabatu and Isabel Rey will sing the female roles. January 19th, 2008. And I will be traveling the day before, that is great. Usually I travel the same day which can be tiresome. Going back to Norway the day after. I think this will be a great and soft start on the new year opera-wise.

Then next will be in February. More on that later...

2007 = 21 performances

My plans for 2008 (some dates and just planning or dreaming).

What am I doing just now? Listening to my IPOD, José Cura sings Te extrano (from the Boleros CD). But yesterday I did a lot on my PC mostly on ITUNES making things better . I am a librarian afterall so I did try to make my ITUNES library perfect. So much music and making everything with the right titles and artists... Love my IPOD. My IPOD is also new from 2007 and now I can't live without it:-)
