Do you remember my blog friend Rebecca who shared with us about her beautiful career as an opera singer at the Met in New York? Well, today is her last performance as a singer, she is retiring, and the path ahead will be full of songs to be heard. 

Rebecca posted on her Facebook,

“ Tomorrow is my last day at the Metropolitan Opera, with a matinee performance of The Flying Dutchman.  Tonight was La Boheme, and as I made my way through my 2nd Act staging, my colleagues started handing me roses.  By the end of the act, I had an armload of roses.  Naturally, I was weeping.  No singing.  Only weeping. A wonderful send off that I will never forget.

Huge thanks to my beloved Aisle 2 sisters who made this happen.  Jenny Rossetti Benson, Jean Braham Myers, Karen Dixon and Marvis Martin. And to directors Paula Suozzi and Mirabelle Ordinaire who actually had to get permission from the General Manager, Peter Gelb.

Special thanks to Jason Hendrix for being just the best stage husband a person could ask for, even if he did keep leaving me for greener pastures.  We had so much fun.”

Here is to wishing you joy Rebecca!
