It's difficult to sleep, especially from 6pm to 12:30am, when one has a Baroque History paper and a show with lines to worry about. I don't know how much I got, but my state as I try to write the paper in between editing articles this morning... it tells me it wasn't quite enough. I thought the director would call me in the evening if there was a rehearsal, and I would have liked to have had one. Oh, well. We'll suck when we open, but we'll get better.
The cast party for the opera Tuesday night... well, Bado lives in the Museum Tower on Montrose. It's swanky. His floor, the sixth, has a party room thing and a deck with a pool. There were the means to make one's own sundae, which I most gladly did, and various small furniture about which to sit and chat with fellow operatically-involved types. Dan gave me a ride there, and was both surprisingly attentive and willing to let me go off on the corners of the deck and be unsocial. There were people trying to teach each other dances, sometimes quiet and intimidating and sometimes loud and intimidating grad students with amazing performance presences, and, of course, Richard Bado. It was fun, but also tiring. Interaction is difficult.
Show, show, show. Worry, worry, worry.
