hope arises

I just practiced for 2 hours. Now that I've made a list, with the most worrisome sections at the top, descending to the sections I know cold and have even performed now..... I am starting to be able to think clearly enough to organize this role in my mind.

I start and end each practice session with the mad scene cadenza. Obviously, it's easier to sing after I'm fully warmed up.

Each cadenza and decision about phrasing is becoming more solidified, some are even at the point of mindlessness (in terms of technique and intellect) - hence the beginnings of experimentation with nuance/color/characterization.

Dare I say it? This might just become fun.

I think I might just pull this off - and exceed even my expectations.
