Why Opera at Ivy League Schools is a good thing....
So.....some bad news from New Haven.
They've opted to hire a mezzo for the job, which I suspected might be the case all along. It would be really tough to sell 6 guys in an 8 person team. I got a note from the coordinator (SC) and he seemed very disappointed.
However, if their resident male alto decides to make a shift to the opera track, then there are 2 openings for alto, and I'm in like flynn. At the very least I've been pushed to re-apply the next year when they're actively looking for a ct!
So an open note to any male altos considering opera as a career.......
Dear IH,
You know, oratorio and early music really sucks. You should take on a
more exciting degree program. I think that opera is the way to go.
Yours Truly,
Jaques
I hate opera (except for Handellian stand-and-sing bits) but I may have found a redeeming attribute at last if my colleague changes tracks!

Sorry to hear about it all man... are you guys still thinking about moving out here?
It's a bit up in the air, but is certainly a possibility that we are considering.......It just doesn't seem possible without the anchor of an assistantship!
How's life in the big bad city? I might be headed your way in a week or two if I advance to the next round in a competition.....
What competition? let me know if you do make it into the city. If you need a place to crash, or just wanna get some dinner.
FUCK! MAY ZOD STRIKE DOWN THE FOOLS WHO DENIED YOU YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE!
Ick ick ick. If you move here, I'll babysit your kids.
