Travels with Lisa

St. Pancras Hotel, London

November, 2019

I have been on the road waaaaay too much in the last couple of years. Hoping to be home more next year, but of course the 2020-21 opera seasons haven't been announced yet.....

1. NYC, February/March, 2018. A week that was supposed to be all vacation. Instead, I worked four of the five weekdays, giving me three days of vacation only. Elektra, Parsifal, Semiramide.

2. Portland, May, 2018 - Write the Docs tech writing conference.

3. Santa Fe, July, 2018. Ariadne auf Naxos and Doctor Atomic.

4. Los Angeles, November, 2018. The Tempest, LA Phil (disappointing) and Satyagraha, LA Opera (sublime)

5. Paris, October, 2018. Vacation with my partner! Les Huguenots, Tristan und Isolde, Bérénice.

6. Paris, February, 2019. Vacation alone, just one week. Concert at Versailles; concert at Philharmonie; Rusalka, Les Troyens, Il primo omicidio

7. Chicago, March, 2019. American Judo & Jujitsu Federation annual convention.

8. Los Angeles, June, 2019. The Central Park Five and Atlas.

9. Santa Fe, August, 2019. The Thirteenth Child (disappointing) and Jenufa (fantastic).

10. Boston/NYC, October, 2019. Work, but I did see the BSO in Boston and the Dover Quartet plus Emmanuel Ax in NYC.

11. London, November, 2019. Vacation, alone, just one week, five operas and one concert.

In 2020, there's a good chance of a week in Boston on business and I know I'm going to Santa Fe for Tristan and Rusalka. Other than that.....maybe Ojai, although it's on a difficult weekend in June.
