Orfeo ed Euridice... what else?

[jaala]

The one and only dress rehearsal took place today. Considering that it was only our first time using props, make-up, lighting, and full costumes, and our second time using microphones and monitors... it went pretty smoothly. In case we weren't nervous enough, people from CKWS (TV)[1] and Opera Canada came along to watch. Apparently, we're newsworthy because as far as we know we're the only completely (undergraduate) student-run opera company in North America.

At the moment, I still look suspiciously like a china doll. I hold the honour (?) of being one of only two girls in the cast who had to have her make-up applied by someone else--in my case, the make-up designer.

[1] Sh-t! I just realized I forgot to tape the news at 11:00.

You actually look uncannily like Fred from "Angel".

Oh, or yeah, that creepy China Doll from that episode of "The X-files" (Ep title was "Chinga")

^_^

Now that I've figured out that Fred is female, I thank you for the compliment. *g*

Not that I'd mind looking like an attractive boy, mind...

Why were you supposed to tape the news at 11?

[jaala]

To see the report taped by CKWS. It turns out they aired it today between 5:30 and 6:00 (I heard about it in class) so I was able to tape it to watch later. From what I've heard, we got four whole minutes out of the half hour.

Glad you're making good use of your digital camera :)

Heh. Yes... not in the least self-centred, eh?

(Just got back from the cast party, BTW.)
