Kiss me, I'm Catholic.

"This is my one-and-only chance to be an altarboy."

- My little sister, who is part of the children's chorus singing the Te Deum in Tosca.

Everyone cheer for my little sister! Her choir is singing with the San Jose Opera Company. They are the little altarboys singing at the news of Napoleon's defeat.

Imagine this as the church (sketch from the premiere).

Sweet!

It's too bad I can't be here for the performances. This song is so beautiful:

Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore,
non feci mai male ad anima viva!...
Con man furtiva
quante miserie conobbi, aiutai...
Sempre con fe' sincera,
la mia preghiera
ai santi tabernacoli salì.
Sempre con fe' sincera
diedi fiori agli altar.

(alzandosi)

Nell'ora del dolore
perché, perché Signore,
perché me ne rimuneri così?
Diedi gioielli
della Madonna al manto,
e diedi il canto
agli astri, al ciel, che ne ridean più belli.
Nell'ora del dolore,
perché, perché Signore,
perché me ne rimuneri così?
