I've been posting on a blog entries in my diary from fifteen years ago. In the fall of 2003, I wanted to take another acting course with the TDSB night school program. I'd taken a couple recently and enjoyed it greatly. One effect this had is that when I saw Lawrence of Arabia again, I noticed how Peter O'Toole listened when the other actors delivered their lines!
That fall I noticed that the TDSB also offered an opera course. This interested me greatly, but it was on the same night as the acting class and I gave the latter priority for now. But in the end the drama class was cancelled, so I got to take the opera course after all.
I've been in the Toronto City Opera chorus ever since, only missing a couple of their annual seasons. Our next production will be Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, with a Pop Art look. It looks like I'll be dressed as an Andy Warhol type.
Sometimes I wonder, What would have happened if that drama course hadn't been cancelled? Would I never have got involved with the opera group? Our would my nature still have led me to it? But I don't spend much time on moot questions.
That's me on the lower far right of the photo!
