While Mark was putting in a few more weeks of work at home, I kicked it off with a 10-day Opera Workshop at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY.

I thouroughly enjoyed spending all my time singing, acting, dancing and exploring my craft as an artist. Vassar College is a gorgeous campus...and I met some great people. I sang Octavian in the final trio and duet of Richard Strauss' Rosenkavalier (see photo). The program definitely changed my perspective as a performer, and I hope to return next summer.
