We’re now in our final week of rehearsals and the sun has been shining on us. I spent another weekend in Leeds and a few of us got in the car and drove to the countryside. The National Trust is an opera singers best friend while on tour. The bluebells and wild garlic were intoxicating and the ice cream with two flakes and chicken salad for dinner has left me raring to go.
We have four ‘stage and orchestras’ and a final rehearsal for Roméo et Juliette plus two A Midsummer Nights Dream performances this week - so busy again!! The production of Roméo et Juliette is in stark contrast to A Midsummer Nights Dream. Black shiny sets, dark costumes and a tale of tragic love. Beautiful!!!
‘Dream’ has received some wonderful press and the audiences seem to love it. It’s quite a shock to see your picture in the broadsheets looking like a donkey. But it’s great to have reviews that appreciate the team effort involved in putting on such a wonderful production. So the warmest congratulations and love to all on the Dream Team.
Well I have to get my costume and make-up on now, so I’ll blog again soon. Love to all and enjoy the sun.
