Yes, I do most of that myself. Do you ever use 15 second timings or do you find that 30 seconds is enough?

Once the entrances/exits are set, I go through and put flags at 5 and 2 mintues out, for audio paging and then to check and make sure everyone is in places. Putting the flags at the top of the page is a good idea, and it would definitely be useful to mark the arias (i usually just do scenes). I also highlight rehearsal numbers if they exist, and highlight the top of each system, so that it's easier to jump to the next line during the show.

That's defintiely helpful, I wish I had some more specific questions, but I'm sure I'll come up with something. Thanks!

I do both theatre and opera, but I've only worked at small opera companies and I haven't had as much experience working with experienced opera SMs. I've found out most of the differences between working in theatre and opera through my own experience, and was just curious about other people's experiences.

I'm curious as to any hints/specifics that any opera SMs on this forum use- forms, prep work, book layout, policies in rehearsal, etc. I haven't worked with as many SMs who do opera, so I'd love to compare notes!
