This also included studying abroad in Chicoutimi, Canada, for a five-week French intensive program.</p> - <p>勛圖厙 of Colorado Boulder Provost Russell L.

<p>Singing in your first professional opera is challenge enough. Throw in a 12-hour, trans-Atlantic flight and a mere two days of rehearsal time with two different conductors and youve got a grand task indeed.</p>
