Saturday 30 June
I remember in particular working on the first day in the Billiard room with Bartolo on our opening scene; enjoying the luxury of time to get to understand Marcellina and her relationship with Bartolo, and attempting to make the scene come alive. It cannot be underestimated, in my opinion, how much the company as a whole benefited from working so intensely together and how much progress was made thanks to the expertise of Nell along with her support from Mark’s conducting and Caroline’s Italian coaching.
The performance on the Wednesday was fantastic and moving the stage from room to room and finally into the garden was magical. How often do opera choruses emerge from “real” bushes! Coordinating costume sharing with my fellow Marcellina had it’s own drama, but added to the excitement of the day. An unforgettable experience,
thank you.
