Top'o'the Morning to You:

Emily and Erin here, giving our spiel from Europe!

Yesterday was our final day in Copenhagen, Denmark. For the first time we were allowed to sleep in!! This day would be our European premiere of Ann and Seamus. We started after breakfast with an outdoor musical rehearsal. While we worked out the final kinks in the opera, we were also able to work on our tans. (Please note, I, Emily, am still white as a ghost.)

In the afternoon we traveled through beautiful Copenhagen to the spectacular and intimidating Opera House. We did some tech rehearsals and then it was time to "do our thang". (This phrase, compliments of Erin.) The "thang" went swimmingly. Everyone acted and sang so well, not to mention, we had a new cast member! As Meaghan Aylward began to sing her part (Mr. Newcombe) a friendly wasp landed on her hand. Never missing a beat, Meaghan squashed her new co-star while pretending she was clapping along with a jig.

After the concert we walked to a pizzeria and burger house for dinner. To thank our hosts and hostesses, we sang "Tell My Ma". We also sang this song for our city bus driver who gave us all a free ride home. Overall, yesterday was one of the best and most rewarding days of tour.

Hope all is well back at home. See you in a week.
