Our son John took off for Wooster, OH today. He’s a Young Artist Scholarship winner at the Ohio Light Opera summer festival.

OLO is a remarkable institution, focusing exclusively on light opera (duh!), Gilbert and Sullivan, and 1 or 2 musicals each year. John has small roles (some speaking, some singing) in about several of them, and is in the chorus for a couple more. We’ll see him in at least Kismet, Gypsy, The Count of Luxembourg, and Iolanthe.

It’s actually quite an honor for him, and he’s excited about it. His older sister keeps things in perspective by calling it ‘Opera Camp.’ Actually, seeing him drive off this morning was a little bit like seeing him off to camp.
