Friday, March 22, 2002 Chocolate and Opening Night Opening night of La Cenerentola went really well. The cast did a wonderful job and I hit all of the light cues (always a good thing). All of the prinicipal roles are double-cast, and tommorrow night my voice teacher, David Dillard, is performing. In my humble opinion, he's better than the other singer who plays Dandini, the prince's valet (I think I hear a second on that from some of the stage managers). Can you believe it?--I think I'm starting to like opera. Well, I can appreciate it more now anyway, especially after going to so many of the shows that the University Musical Society (UMS) has presented over the last three years. (Interns get free tickets to almost everything. It rocks.) On a slighly different, although related, note, our directors are awesome--they gave the running crew a collective gift, and it was one of the best things to buy someone like me: a box of Godiva chocolates. Yum. Mandy, one of the assistant stage managers, brought a bag of bite-size Snickers bars and someone (costuming?) brought a huge bowl full of candy for the Green Room. It was great! (Also interesting to add: Mark Berg, the master electrician, almost always has a large M&M dispenser full of peanut M&M's handy when he works in university venues.) I think I'm sensing a trend, and I like it. Bring on the chocolate! ^ Top | 2:28 AM | | |
