We just had rehearsal #2 - our first time at St. Martin's. Great venue - we're looking forward to going back.
This was an interesting rehearsal for me especially: it was the first time I heard anything from Temptation sung or played live. I haven't really gotten a feel yet for what kinks can be worked out with pacing. Musically, this will definitely be the most work of the three operas for me. Only Andrew and Francesca could make it to this rehearsal, but we still made some great progress
We also had a The Name on the Door rehearsal with Annie and Zoe present. Everything sounds better each time I hear it! I'm really excited to hear this and the others when everything's put together.
Nick was also at the rehearsal today, and we had some time to talk with the two casts about what direction we were feeling everything was going - finding out about their characters, too. I'm looking forward to see where Nick and the singers take everything.
