Stage Management: Other / Some Opera Questions

« on: Aug 02, 2008, 04:55 pm »

Hi everyone,

Hope you can help me. First time involved with an opera and I'm quite confussed! I've read some of the other topics about opera on the board but I still have got some questions...

• When people refer to places in the score they talk about number set out like this - X/X/X (i.e. 14/2/2). What does this mean?
• In the schedule there doesn't seem to be a 'Technical Rehearsal' juts 'Stage and Piano' and 'Stage & Orchestra' rehearsal sessions - what is the difference between them?
• Does anyone have a copy of an opera running list/ deck cue sheet that I could have a look at?
• What's the 'Water Table' thing all about?

If anyone can help with any of the above I'd really appreciate it. Getting a bit confused with this new world!

Thanks very much
