Week One is done

The first week of staging rehearsals for the upcoming production of The Flying Dutchman is done. The whole show is staged. The chorus has been rocking the rehearsal hall and the principles are mind-blowing. This is going to be a show not to miss!

Rehearsals started with a musical sing through of the score on Saturday 6 March. After that, we jumped right into staging. The men's chorus took quite a beating on that first night... in fact, some even came in the next day with some small bruises. But, they did a great job and the opening scene looks great! Who ever said that opera was not a full contact sport?

All of the principles has been amazing to work with. I can not wait for you to hear them. Amazing artists, all of them!

The ladies chorus is sounding VERY good also! It is so nice to work with such a great group of people.

We just had Afternoon of Stars and now it is back into some staging rehearsals. Tonight we are working on a great scene with the Dutchman, Erik, and Senta! Should be a great nice of music and drama.

Get you tickets!

See you at the opera!

The Flying Dutchman is getting ready to dock

Hello Friends!

I have some very exciting news to share: the artists have assembled, the chorus is ready, production staff is prepared, and Larkins Music Center is buzzing. Mobile Opera's first Wagner opera The Flying Dutchman has started rehearsals.

I will post some pictures from the rehearsal hall soon. I want you to see the process of how a show like this put together.

I hope you have your tickets by now... if not, don't wait any longer. Mobile Opera's time is now... or in the words of the Dutchman himself - "Die Frist ist um"

See you at the opera!
