Opening Night for Orpheus (OTA | gathering)
After a virus knocked out nearly half of the orchestra and some of the choir members, we're way off our original schedule, but finally Orpheus in the Underworld is ready to open.
Everything is prepared for the opening party afterward: Music, a buffet and drinks will be available in the foyer. Let's hope we'll have reason to celebrate! At least I'm sure we have two of the most realistic gods ever in a performance of this operetta.
I wish everyone "break a leg" before the curtain goes up, then it's time for me to head to the orchestra pit. You'd think I'd have gotten used to this by now, but I'm still as nervous as on my first opening night. I feel like straightening my bow tie one last time but I stop myself in time. It's a good thing I have such self-control. Someone would need to know me very well to see through the facade. I can think of only one person here who knows me intimately enough - Catherine, and I'm not sure where she is right now, probably in the audience.
[Please tag Clay if you want him, performers and helpers can catch him before the show, everyone when he's mingling at the party.
Here's the cast list if you want to check whom your friends/lovers played on stage.]
