| And now, back to… not being busy? |

The Mikado is finally at an end. I feel a mixture of relief that I'm free of the slightly crazy rehearsal schedule, and sadness that I won't be performing it again, at least not with the same cast or in quite the same way. It's been wonderful, though, and I can only hope I have time for the May week show. There was a G&S get-together last night at Bella Italia, which was great fun: an evening filled with laughter, as it often is with them.
The day after the last performance, I did that most obvious of relaxing, stress-free, simple things: drove to London to see a concert, of crazy German a capella, having agreed to distribute tickets to my group and having not passed any on in advance. I do wonder about my logic sometimes… but I'm glad I did, even if it was perhaps not quite on a par with last year (though that may be because it was quite similar and I'd seen it before, or because I was more worn out and thus able to understand slightly less of it). This year, they handed out translation sheets to those who raised their hands to say their German wasn't up to scratch. Of course I didn't, but then occasionally found myself looking at Susan's. *looks sheepish* In any case, with the aid of that sheet, here is a partial set list:

Now I must get to work, so I'll leave you with ( a couple of bad filks about the Mikado get-out and after-show party ) |
