It was some of the sunniest February weather you could want, so we headed to the zoo here in Schwerin. Just super!

Girl friend Jane Dutton shows up in Kassel for a quick visit – we grab some quality time the day after my Lady M von Mzensk performance. Snowy but FUN!

In costume in the dressing room.

Arturo, Paul and Stephie “rehearsing” on the stage.
In the house with Maestro Foremny.

Rehearsal fun with Andreas, Marcus, Musa, and Frank – falling on his sword for me!

Some amazing winter light here in Schwerin – December – at around 4:30pm.

Plus- Afternoon sunlight and Christmas eve nightlights!

Visiting Schwerin to sing Senta, and celebrating Thanksgiving at the Niederländischer Hotel.

You can hike up a “hill” (I say MOUNTAIN) and see a big green statue of Hercules and eat a terrific lunch! We enjoyed the view of Kassel and some beautiful November weather!

We found a great American-style diner called Chevy’s that served wings, burgers, and beers – and showed the NFL on the big screen! HURRAY!

Warm-day amusement inside the air-conditioned game parlor.

And girl’s night out in Chicago!

Of the Walküre bunch, I’m center back – not Debbie, of course – who’s on her “horse” – but on the deck.
