Video: Me Performing ’Poor Wandering One’ - Pirates of Penzance 1998

I start out off stage and enter from the right. The yellow subtitles mark the sisters, the green subtitles mark Frederick and the purple text marks Mabel (me).

Probably best known for being featured in the animated film An American Tail, the song Poor Wandering One was written by Gilbert and Sullivan for the opera, The Pirates of Penzance which premiered in New York City in 1879.

This was my one and only performance as Mabel in the 1998 production by the Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts. It was a morning performance, which is why I am sometimes really reaching to hit the high notes.

Nonetheless, I’d say my voice was at its prime at this age (I was 16 years old). The note I hit at about 4:45 is probably the highest note I’ve ever managed to reach onstage while still sounding good.
