Just back from the concert in Zabrze. A very traumatic experience that has ended in a good way thanks to my nice colleagues, Boguslaw and Agneska, and to the beautiful and super professional musicians of the orchestra that was put together for the occasion.

Apart from that, the whole journey has been a sort of punishment from the beginning, with missing scores, wrong music, illegible printings, ...bad working conditions, etc. We couldn't give away the printed program as, in the last minute, we had to improvise the concert due to the problems with the orchestra music. I was supposed to sing Ridi Pagliaccio and Nessun dorma also, and I could not sing them because the orchestra scores were wrong.

Anyhow, a huge THANK YOU to the public for loving us the same, to the orchestra for its professionalism, to my colleagues for being so sportive in such a situation, and a special mention to the enormous work the orchestra coordinator, Ewa, who almost killed herself working to find solutions.
