Opening night was today - for the 2008 season, for Rigoletto, and for the brand new minty fresh renovated opera house... and it was a great hit. My cousin Tim was in town to see the whole thing, and I think he may have gotten some pictures... so look for them later. But he got to see the ribbon cutting and the whole shabang, including the after party still to come. So maybe I'll post some incriminating photos of that, too (probably not, but keep hoping!).
The show went very well. Michael Corvino sang the socks off Rigoletto, which we in the chorus have come to expect. After weeks of rehearsing, we've learned that Michael is not stopped by rain, snow, or dark of night. That man can SING. Hell, the whole cast was very solid tonight, and the audience appreciated it. It was a great way to open the new theatre.
Now I have to go get into the shower to get the curls out of my hair (they pin the hell out of it to get it in my wig), and get coiffed for the party. Wohoo!! We've certainly earned it.
