For
this internship, I am working at St. Mark's English Church in Florence, Italy.
At Salem College, we are required to do an internship and I'm doing mine during
our Jan term - the month of January. Even though I was not required to do a
internship in music, I wanted to get something in that field because music is
my major. Kate, a friend of mine in the music department, had done a similar
internship. She gave me the information about the organization called
Performing Arts Abroad which is associated with Florence University of the
Arts. I am also taking an Italian class as part of my internship.
St. Mark's is unique and has been hosting opera in the church for 11 years. Saint Mark's is part of an old Medici Palace that was
owned by Machiavelli and has been renovated in a neo-renaissance style with
beautiful icons. The church is also an important venue for Firenze Lirica, a
well-established Florentine society for the promotion of operatic performance
and study.

This January, the opera program is Love Duets from famous operas. I
am assisting with preparations before the performances and hosting activities
during the event.
