Thank you, that's alot of great information!!
I'll definately ask the technical and/or production manager when I'm around the festival space.

But as you said on your last note - does anyone know if it differs in England??

It's a small professional company thats performing at an opera festival.
My friend hasn't worked at the fest before. The festival has been going on for years i think, it's in a big studio space.
So it will run like a proper opera if that's what your asking!?

Hello,

I'm doing my first contemporary opera called Shadowplays. I have never been a SM for an opera especially on a big scale, but the assistant director got me the job and I feel it my duty to not let anyone down just because it's new to me!!
My questions and tip wanting is for what happens at the end of rehearsals that makes the transition onto stage or the stage space.
I'm getting near the end of rehearsals and I'm feeling overwhelmed by it all - will it be a drastic change?
What will the different technical processes be??

  Eep!!
