By day I am an EMT. And by night, an Opera Singer. Well, at least this was me yesterday. Two auditions in one day that are polar opposites always makes for an interesting day.
The EMT audition wanted me with no make-up, hair pulled back and an EMT style wardrobe. From there I had to transform into Maria Casello as best I could with dramatic eyes, pearls, hair up and an evening dress. I know what you’re thinking, but you don’t LOOK like her and you’re not even Greek! Or maybe you are thinking, Who the heck is Maria Casello?
If you don’t know, according to the internet (it must be true!) she was an opera singer and had an affair with Aristotle Onassis while they were each married to other people. After their divorces, I guess Maria thought Onassis would marry her, but he married Jackie instead. Oh no he didn’t!
But the interesting thing for me here is that I used to get told I looked like Jackie Kennedy a lot when my hair was shorter, and I was still living in Minnesota. So now I look like both Onassis’ ladies? Hmm… I guess that means if he ever met me, he would have wooed me too. Although, for me, he was a little too slick and his glasses a little to thick.
I had errands to run yesterday before and after my Maria Casello audition and while the rest of the world may have assumed this is just the way I dress while at the post office and grocery store, it felt like Halloween to me.
I have a confession. I sort of live a more exiting life through your blog. Great stuff, keep’em coming.
