At Sunday's rehearsal, we were told of a QSOC orchestra-specific website we should be visiting; naturally, I forgot the URL. So I was googling for it and discovered... this QSOC The Turn of the Screw site that I didn't even know existed! Nifty!

For some reason, I had been entirely ignorant of the fact that Chris Jackman played a leading role in a QSOC show. Another interesting discovery: they've already done Dialogues des Carmélites--in 1999, the company's second year of existence!

It's a pity that there's no archive/photo section on the official QSOC website. I know that the shows archive is one of the most interesting parts of the QMT website for me.

Unrelatedly, happy new year (or whatever terms one is supposed to use for Rosh Hashanah) to those who are celebrating it!

Yeah I thought it was weird they were doing it again. Surely there are more than like 5 operas in the world to do? Haha.

Chris Jackman.

I discovered that one night during gala night of Bye Bye Birdie; Chris and I were walking down Princess with a bunch of people and he mentioned he had worked with QSO the year before. I assumed backstage, and then he said he was the lead. I'd seen the opera so I was pretty confused that in months of rehearsal for Birdie I hadn't made that connection.

I remember when they did Turn of the Screw -- it was really cool and kinda freaky!

Oh, and another interesting Chris Jackman connection: I found out that one of my friends here in St. John's is Chris' cousin.

Yeah I know it's you! haha. He figured it'd be Andrew that you know. How did you make that connection?

Random things like this are so cool! I was out with Andrew one day and I mentioned that I went to Queen's, and he said he had a cousin at Queen's. haha I forgot about that until this morning
