thehefnerThis time from the Washington National Opera, of all places. The e-mail said: "I pulled your photos from the League auditions because I think you are just right for the Super Soldier roles in I VESPRI SICILIANI which will be performed by Washington National Opera in the Opera House at the Kennedy Center - opening September 17." Super Soldiers? What the hell is this, an opera of singing Captain Americas? I didn't realize Verdi was a comic fan.
Oh wait, upon rereading the letter, this isn't an audition. They actually WANT me (and others on the mailing list) to come do it. This would ALSO conflict with stuff, by the way. Regardless, I'm just kinda taken aback, since this just seems like a particularly odd casting request. It'd probably also be paying, which is very good. It's probably ensemble, which in any musical production is never fun and I don't even know what it'd be like in opera.
On the other hand, Placido "man-god" Domingo himself is fucking conducting. Dude.
These should all be good things! Why is it so damn conflicting, and not just in the schedule?!
