Attila Final Rehearsal

The Final Rehearsal for Attila was held last night. It was very exciting to be before a live audience, and from the enthusiastic applause the opera should be a great success; we'll see from reviews next week after Opening Night.

Elegant Lady

To transform from Roman Soldier to Elegant Lady and then climb up a ladder into a balcony ruins in less than two minutes took dressers stripping costume pieces off and being attended to head to foot - literally!

In this scene I'm a Hermit Monk having 'helped' raise a cross and then standing on rubble with arms outstretched awaiting news of a new Venice.
