It sounds like you are really doing well... I wish we could all get together again...
You sound like you have had the great fortune to have found a wonderful voice teacher. Your voice just keeps getting better and better as time goes on. I'm waiting for your return to the USA!
I am lucky to hear Thiago Arancam now in the Las Palmas Tosca as Cavaradossi. He have a wonderful beautiful voice. I want to see him again here for to hear him sing again and again.
I hear a very good technique also behind the voice and it help him to keep his voice a long time!
