Master class with Gabriella Lechner.... an Austrian Opera legend. She is phenomenal! Very lucky to have worked with her. It's 18:00 pm (6:00 pm) here on Saturday and the bells are ringing outside to signify the beginning of the Sabbath. I wish we observed it better in the States. They sound so cool!

We finally had some rain here yesterday. It rained good and cooled things off a little. But it was hot and muggy today... it's starting to cool off now, however. Oh, it is just beautiful here!
