A friend of a friend attended the dress rehearsal. There were questions about what Romeo should wear in the bed scene. First they tried only a night shirt. Too revealing. Then a nightshirt plus tightie-whities. Still too revealing—especially since Juliet seemed to have a propensity for pulling his nightshirt up to reveal...whatever. They even tried his full length baby blue pants, which still didn't look right. So that's how they arrived at the baby blue Bermuda shorts/shortie pajamas. <BR/><BR/>J. said he had intended to skip Hansel and Gretel on Jan. 1 but that Alice Cootes (Gretel) is wonderful and he wants to see her. I'm game for giving it a try as long as roads aren't slick! Plus, it's a whole hour shorter than R&J!KittyHawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739803072124784137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-76180844620809361852007-12-16T16:14:00.000-05:002007-12-16T16:14:00.000-05:00Laurie, wish the Weimaraners would have been photo...Laurie, wish the Weimaraners would have been photographed in Anna's cotton candy pink costume and Roberto's baby blue tights and singlet--TWO of the opera goers had questions about the "mechanics" of his costume. . .(giggle)Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861307316932691361.post-67161910572745109822007-12-16T08:36:00.000-05:002007-12-16T08:36:00.000-05:00wow. the metropolitan opera, live!
