April

My apologies for not posting an April Fools joke.  There were a couple of good ones.

Jessica Duchen said that the London Philharmonic Orchestra was moving to Hamburg.

And then there was this excellent post on Facebook by Gabriela Jacqueline:

BREAKING NEWS!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!
Some breaking news from the Met Opera Site! I am surprised that no one here has mentioned it! I just read that Andre Rieu will be Guest Conductor for the next Season of the Met!!!!!!!!
He will conduct 10 different Operas and the women of the Met Opera Orchestra will have to wear the fairy tell dresses that the women of Andre's orchestra always wear at his concerts!
And the shocking news is that (I am shocked that no one has mentioned it yet!) Andre Rieu and Peter Gelb decided to cancel Norma as opening season performance and instead, they will do Lloyd Webber's "Evita"!

My own surprise was that I would sing the lead in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical  Sunset Boulevard!  I am ready for my closeup.
