After today’s rehearsal I have hit the wall. And I only had two rehearsals, with the second one being cut short by about 50 minutes. I think my sunburn from yesterday didn’t help things, but I truly do feel like a wimp.
We got through the entire opera, aside from recits, without singers. I’m assuming the singers will join us tomorrow. I’m also so happy to have them there; it makes playing the opera so much easier as I know the vocal cues rather well in this opera. This opera is double cast, so we’ll be hearing a lot of Merolini. Can’t wait!
Well … except I can. It’s a morning rehearsal, and I have to wake early again to get thre.
Oh what a wimp I am.
Well, in 10 weeks I plan to be a wimp too, so there! In fact, I plan on out-wimping you. Sure, it’ll take some training, but I think I’m up to it! :-)
Well, I do have 18 students and UCSC, so when you stop your “real” job perhaps you will actually have more wimp-out time than I do! How ’bout that?
See – I knew I’d be able to out-wimp you! Woo hoo!
You could always start teaching privately. You know you get tons more playing work than I, so then you’d under-wimp me again.
