We had our first full day in the theatre yesterday, running the show twice. The Bridewell is an amazing space and we able to use a lot of it in the production. The opera may last only an hour and a quarter, but the two lead roles are both large, being on stage all the time. As someone who finds learning music by heart difficult, even (especially) my own, I have great admiration for the way the singers have managed to get whole reams of the stuff into their memories.
So today its the tech rehearsal, our first chance to see what the lighting will be like!
