Memories and Wishes
April 19, 2008 - Tonight is the final performance of our 10th anniversary season. It has been an amazing year filled with many wonderful moments from the eery incantation scene at the end of Alcina's second act to the sublimity of the final hymn in Tobias and the Angel to the utter whackiness of the hip-hop cancan in Orpheus in the Underworld. As this blog posts, arrangements are already well under way for the inaugural season of our second decade. At this gateway, I invite our supporters to share a favorite moment from the first ten years of OV and/or a wish for the next ten years. And I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the fantastic people (singers, designers, dancers, crew, volunteers, board members, donors, subscribers, etc.) who have gotten us this far. We truly couldn't have done it without each and everyone of you.

I've only been going to Vivente for a few years, but the very first performance I saw remains a favorite memory: "The Turn of the Screw," especially Zachary Stains' portrayal of Quint.
I have been in John's chorus since le Villi, and do read this blog, lurking and not posting comments. I was ALMOST in all three productions this season, but managed to fall in my classroom, break and sprain my wrist and tear up my calf...thus no infernal hip-hop cancan for me.
Tobias was the high point for me this season. How often do you get to sing for a living composer and a real life angel (David Walker)? I know David is no Angel, but he fooled many of us.
