Stage Management: Other / Il Trittico
« on: Feb 06, 2008, 02:52 am »
Hi everyone!
I just accepted a job as an ASM for the El Paso Opera. We will be doing Il Trittico [like the title... ]. Anyway, this will be my first opera, but I have plenty of straight plays and musicals under my belt. I have read all the posts about the differences between opera and other types of theatre. I read music and speak and read/write Spanish and English. I plan on learning Italian, primarily because I want to expand my stage management to any area that I can, plus I love learning languages
Has anyone done this show? In my Google search I learned that the approx. run time is 4 hours. And I know about the 3 acts. Any helpful information? They still haven't signed a SM yet, so hopefully once they do I can talk to him/her and find out exactly what they'll be having me do. I pick up my script in the morning. Any advice about this show?
Thanks in advance. I hope everyone is having a great 2008 so far!
