Orchestral Dress Rehearsal 1

More Act 3

I asked for absolutely everything to be put on stage after this morning, even it was unfinished so at least we could see where the holes were, as the casting muddles had caused a number of peculiar results. Despite the strange lack of urgency about seeing even quite important costumes on stage, it was actually quite encouraging.

In Act 2, however, the underwater scene, the water-god has a huge silk cloak over his variably god-like form. The applique´d waves and seaweed are far from finished, and we only saw the said cloak last night after a huge fight on my part. [It was in bits in the art department - still damp.]
"Technical rehearsal" , i.e. to rehearse using all the practical bits and pieces must mean something rather different here.
As you see, these pictures are still Act 3 - will try and get photos of the rest of it this evening.
