Opera in Church

We were singing the closing hymn today, when out from the middle section there arose one voice to stand out above all the rest. It sounded to me like she was a middle-aged Relief Society sister. It was a little young to be taking the position of ward opera singer, but she probably couldn't wait. To be honest, I can't wait either. One day I hope to be the one woman in the ward who unabashedly belts out the hymns louder than everyone else, an octave higher, and with a healthy amount of vibrato. The position is vacant in our ward, so either the woman singing was a visitor, or one of the members in our ward was trying out for the part. Maybe next week I'll try out.
