Yes, these are slightly belated… but we are a fun bunch and I wanted to share a few pictures from backstage, and from our impromptu cast party at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop in the French Quarter. The oldest bar in New Orleans seems a fitting place for the oldest opera company in America to have a few drinks!
Not wanting to be left out of costume, the "Ghosts" arrive at a staging rehearsal.
Let it never be said that we don’t have fun at rehearsals. The members of our “ghost” chorus decided they would show up to their first staging rehearsal draped in sheets as they sang their first entrance. We were all laughing so hard it took us a few minutes to get back to work…
Ava, Lauren, and Rebecca in the dressing room, touching up costumes and make-up before the show
You’d be surprised how much make-up you have to wear even when your character isn’t supposed to be wearing any…
Vickie, Julie, and Emily onstage with their crocheting waiting for the curtain to go up for Act II
Listening to the orchestra tune as we get ready to sing is the best feeling!
Jimmy, Jody, and Simon are three of our "Ghost" choristers, happy to rejoin the living after the show
Work is over… now let’s party!
Roy Cornelius Smith, our "Erik", Assistant Stage Manager Ken Goode, and "Steuerman" Chauncey Packer come out to relax and decompress with us after a successful opening night.
What a fun show! We can’t wait to see everyone next season. :-)
