L'enfant/Schicchi

This show has totally flown by!!!! The last four weeks have been a total blur, and don't even know where the time went. This show has been a total relief after Turandot-which was a nightmare-and I really think the end product turned out really well. L'enfant is about a child who is kinda a hellian, and breaks his furniture and throws his books and all this, and then everything in his room comes to life (including two chairs, teapot/cup, grandfather clock, math, the cats, and the fire in the fireplace). It's a very strange show, but we did it with a lot of background projection and some really great costume designs. Our cast is a much younger group, and were all soo wonderful! Very fun :) Schicchi is about a family who's very wealthy elder passes away and leaves everything to a bunch of monks, and they naturally develop a scheme to have his will re-written in their favor. It's one of the few Puccini operas that I love, and it's hilarioius!

We had opening night last night, followed by the opening night party (which was the same as always-but stage management looked awesome!!!!! see picture below :)) Now there is one week left and I'll be home for a few days!
