Here are some pictures of the dress rehearsal. They are going very well, I must say I am very impressed by the quality of the making in the wardrobe here. (I hope they will be as good in Moscow). Absolutely everything is made in house, no free-lancers, as there would be in the UK. it did take a few goes to get the samples right, but once done, the costumes produced are lovely. There are 70 people working in the ateliers, apparently, so the process has been curiously remote, just meeting the head cutters and supervisors. I've not so much as visited a dressing room - not seeing anything between fittings and seeing the results on stage. But visiting the workrooms to arrange the decoration, everyone was working with broad smiles on their faces, as it was like walking into a flower market with all the bright colours that are such a part of napoli. All day colour therapy!
