Royal Northern College of music

My focus of the last few days, well weeks, nay months, has been getting ready for a production of Il Trovatore at the studio in the Royal College of music. I was with a small company - small maybe, but with mighty voices and a wonderful mixture of personalities - oh yes. We had very little time, and certainly few resources, but crikey we have managed an intense production. I directed it, designed, and ran the show off the book from the box - something I loved but was in a constant state of panic - for every second I watched the show, another page of music turned and it took all my concentration to keep up. multitasking certainly, but what a high. This was my view for the nights..
