Under 3 weeks to go

We now have a stage manager on board, Fernando Pinho, and start rehearsals this week. We are trying to get to grips with the logistics of having the man chained up on stage, so that it looks good but isn't too onerous on the singer. Besides the usual theatrical sources for gear, we have been looking at fetish sites (!) one called uberkinky has provided some interesting ideas and might still end up being the source of some of the gear. I am now thinking that I should have thought of this earlier and perhaps tried to get sponsorship, though that would rather give the wrong message about the opera!
