OK, my car is packed, the apartment is cleaned (I want my $100 deposit, please!), and the last thing on my list is to go see "The Last Savage" by Gian Carlo Menotti. It opens tonight, and I was able to get a ticket, so I haven't seen any dress rehearsals. It's the only comedy this summer, but it's not a well-known opera, so it hasn't been selling. Hopefully there will be good reviews, and it'll be the must-see show of the summer!
I had a busy week--after first dress on Monday night, the designer (Allen Moyer) decided that one of the costumes wasn't working, and the team that built the first costume had too much to do for "Wozzeck" the last opera, and couldn't build a new costume. So it fell to my team to build a new pair of pajamas for the title character! Since second dress was the next night, they pulled a pair of PJs from stock, and sent the shopper out looking for animal print fabrics. He came back with about a dozen swatches, Allen picked one, the shopper went back and bought the fabric, and we were off and running! We got the basic garment pieces done, had a fitting with the singer (Daniel Okulitsch, who is a real Barihunk!), and finished them up in time for final dress on Thursday night! Whew! So I'm excited to see everything on stage tonight!
And then, in the morning, I hit the road! I'll get home early evening on Monday. I can hardly wait! It's been a fun summer, even with the fires, and road construction, but I'll be glad to be home! See you soon!
