First run-through

Had the first run-through with piano today. We were a little delayed and had to start over tree times. But on the other hand I succeeded in persuading everyone to run everything straight through. We made it without any breaks, even though the stage technicians have never had the chance to rehearse the difficult scene changes within the exact frame of time before, and in spite of the fact that there were new stage technicians on the crew today. Extremely impressive. All together the technique is working very well.
Dramaturgically all the pieces were really coming together today. And it seems that the lighting is working really well, even though the 4th scene still needs a loving hand to become tight enough, concerning the lighting. Maybe we’ll catch up on that tomorrow afternoon, between the orchestra rehearsal during the day and the run-through in the evening with the other team of singers in full costumes and makeup and everything, and with a photo shoot.
