Today, we left Fortaleza and
arrived at our final destination: Manaus. Immediately after we got off the
plane, I got the familiar feeling of being back in San Antonio, Texas. It was
sunny, hot, and humid. I’m thankful for the time that I spent in Texas because
I feel like it prepared me for Manaus. Today,
although we didn’t do a lot in particular, we DID visit the opera theatre very
close to the Go Inn, our hotel. After a lovely tour where we learned a little
of the history of the theatre, we found out that there would be Korean
performers singing jazz music. It turned out to be opera, but I enjoyed it
immensely! I feel like now I really have come to appreciate vibrato after
hearing it live. Hearing a recording is one thing, but hearing it in real life
is another.
They sang in Italian, Mandarin,
German, and some other languages that I couldn’t recognize. I’m really glad
that I ended up going. I feel like this study abroad experience has taught me
that although sometimes I don’t want to go to things, it usually ends up being
worth it.
Thanks for Reading!!
