Personal Updates

July 27, 2009 By Ian Sidden

Sorry for my dearth of posts this last week. A number of major events have taken place that made it near impossible to post.

First, I moved from my old apartment into a new one, and the internet is not on. It won’t be on until Thursday.

Second, the show that I assembled and directed Homeward Bound: The Music of Simon and Garfunkel opened last weekend. It got a very enthusiastic responses from the audience. Unfortunately, we lost a cast member the night before the second weekend, so we had to shuffle to revamp the show. The cast got it together and made the second weekend a success.

Third, I’m actually writing from Glenwood Springs, CO. My girlfriend and I drove up yesterday from Las Cruces, and we are staying presently at the Glenwood Springs Hostel. The prices are right for a poor beginning singer, and the atmosphere is friendly. I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in the area.

We’re up here because PhoebeJoy Wong and I are giving a recital in Aspen tomorrow. The Aspen Music Festival and School is going on right now, and PhoebeJoy got us a spot to perform in one of the student recitals. I’m very excited! I’m hoping to get some videos that I will post on iansidden.com.

That’s all for now. We’ll be driving back on Wednesday, and as soon as I can, I will finish out the Stage Fright series and post a new vocalise.

Happy singing!

Training Singing, Practicing Strength

In the past few years, I’ve begun viewing my singing work in a similar manner to my weight training. And vice versa. The two share obvious similarities. We use time and effort to get better: We want more power. We want more endurance. We want more agility. We want to be more durable. We want […]

Premiere: Fernand Cortez

Tonight we premiere our production of Gaspare Spontini’s Fernand Cortez, ou La conquête du Mexique at Opernhaus Dortmund. This is after a two year delay; originally we were to have premiered this in 2020, but history intervened. There are many versions of this opera floating around, and we are doing a version that has – […]

Premiere: Frédégonde

Here’s one I’ve been looking forward to for awhile. Tonight at Opernhaus Dortmund, we’re premiering Frédegonde for the first time in Germany. It’s a work inspired from the early history of the Merovingians in what is now France and the ongoing feud between two of the queens, Brunhild and Frédegonde. The work was composed by […]
