I am still reeling from the extravaganza that is DIFFA Dallas.
This over the top haute couture event thrown by my bestie Jim DiMarino (the "Will" to my "Grace") was just spectacular to say the least. I may have to do two or three posts because it was all very overwhelming. I was a part of the opening number, singing Lascia Ch'io Pianga with rap artist Jordan Frescher. I think we came up with a new genre called...wait for it...wait for it...
OpeRap.
In all seriousness I am actually really inspired at the idea of mixing modes to create new fresh ways of hearing old tunes. Purists may cringe, but I think a younger generation might be turned on to Opera if it was presented in a new and exciting way. The wheels are turning....
This not for profit organization is truly a special one. I was very honored to open the event and floored at the massive scale of it all!

Absolutely phenomenal right? I mean, it's too bad how unattractive they are....how sad.

More to come!
