Stage Management: Other / opera

« on: Jan 28, 2005, 05:34 am »

Going from a regular SM to a Opera SM is just the same thing.  You are doing the same job apart from now having musicians to deal with.   I went from calling Theatre Drama shows to opera then number 1 touring musicals. i have now musical talent myself and have never felt it was important to read music.  as long as you know the show from rehearsals you should be fine.  Another thing i always do is, when i'm taking over a show i find where its touring or rehearsing and i go along and watch.
