Good Morning all! After some much needed rest last night, we're all ready for a day of rehearsal and our concert this evening at the cathedral. We were able to get a feel for the space yesterday and it is fabulous. In somewhat typical anglican fashion the choir loft is split so we have Soprano/Bass facing Alto/Tenor. It actually makes hearing each other quite easy. The rehearsal today will be more for the dancers to figure everything out in the space they have, working on a stone floor, and for Tommy and company to get back together.
Those who were part of the premeire concert, you may remember Tommy's soon was part of the group. He is actually in California currently learning about organic farming so Tommy's brother is filling in. All the more reason for the band rehearsal today.
For my VAE followers, you will be surprised to know that Peter Olson is on this trip. I didn't realize that his wife Carla was one of the dancers when we did the performance in Des Moines but she is on this trip and he has tagged along. He is helping the videographer with lighting etc.
You might be interested as to how we're getting around. We have a very comfortable double decker coach bus. And as with most tours we have a great bus driver who is very good at navigating the city streets. We also have a great guide named Anne who makes sure we know where we are supposed to be and when.
Off to rehearsal - more later!
