Just when you thought things were going to get boring – day after day of rehearsal after rehearsal – here comes the reminder that your in France! The Empire has Struck Back!!!
Opera Anatomy
Pass my knife, please……

It’s the start of week 3 on the ground in Lyon. At this point Seppuku has become an option.
Stepping in it…….
Anyone who has been to France knows that there is one thing that you always have to look out for. It’s not the drivers, or the weather, or the beret wearing old-timer screaming anti-American insults. No, it’s the “merde de chien.” And we have stepped right into it…..
Into the Lyon’s Den
I am in Lyon, the beautiful city nestled in, around, and between the twin rivers of the Rhone and the Saone. I’m going to like it here.
A tribute to the Ladies…..
It’s been an interesting day with Porgy & Bess. The day started off with a tribute to my favorite ladies (with the exception of my lovely wife)…….
And the Beat goes on…….
It’s Sunday, a free day for the cast and crew of Porgy. But for 50,000 intrepid souls, and however many watching, it was the day of the Paris Marathon!
First day……..
It’s the first day of rehearsals and all through the house…………
On my way…………
Here it is folks – the first video posting on Porgy & Bess. Enjoy.
