There is something I want to share with you all before I leave, which has me very excited and hopeful. To cut a long story short I was in my local vida caffe one Sunday, the only person in the shop.
There I heard the most beautiful singing coming from behind the counter, so I chatted to the extremely pleasant young man who hails from the Eastern Cape. He told me of his dream to sing, which had never materialised. On being asked if he knew anything operatic (a long shot I reckoned) he came into the customer area and sang the most beautiful aria, full of passion and expression, which literally reduced me to tears.
Over the last month I have been hard at work, and have just had the good news that he is being granted an audition for a place at UCT Opera school next Friday 28th September at 1pm. (This just happens to be my birthday, so am hoping it will be very lucky day for him.)
So dear friends and gentle readers, I'm asking you all to say a little prayer for a young man who will be singing his heart out for a life changing opportunity...
With thanks and lots of love,
Ciao,
Suzy Q xx
