memorizing italian …

I sing in a community chorale group.

For some reason, I’ve decided to volunteer to be an extra during the first act. It seems like it will involve a little bit of walking around, a lot of standing around looking interested in what’s going on, and singing. It is an opera, and it is in Italian.
