5 weeks to go
Labels:
opera
Well, its just 5 weeks to go before the first night of When a Man Knows, so we are in the midst of final planning. I have a meeting at the theatre tomorrow with the lighting designer and we're well on the way to sorting out the costumes. We commissioned this mono-print from the artist Geraldine van Heemstra and this is now gracing the posters and will appear on the front of the programmes.
I've just about got the basics of the programme book sorted out, but as it includes the libretto it runs to 16 pages! I now have to start work on producing the instrumental parts. I have already sat down with Finale and extracted the parts and laid them out, though inevitably it seems impossible to find practicable turns for all pages.
And this weekend commences the next batch of publicity.
Oh, and I have started the search for ushers and programme sellers. The list is endless!
