Opera Rehearsal - 4/3

Today was our first run through for Opera. I don't know if this really counts as an ensemble. But oh well. We did not warm up. We had a few announcements from Dallas and then we launched into our first run through. Nerves made me forget a lot of things! I was embarrassed at first, but as the show progressed I improved a lot. Now I know that I need to memorize this a lot more thoroughly because my nerves will make it harder to remember. That's the value of full run throughs like this in front of everyone else, because you really see how you are affected. We did not stop except to change the set. There were some very strong scenes and some not so strong scenes. Hopefully everyone got a better idea of what they need to work on (I know I did!). And hopefully the fact that it's only one week away will motivate us! Dallas decided to email us all our notes because we were out of class time. He is always very careful about not going over time. I wish he had in this case though, because notes are so much more effective in person. Oh well!
