Rehearsal

Tchaikovsky running through my head. tonight's rehearsal was pretty good for me... noted the passages that need work, that need to pay special attention to the conductor etc oh and the difficult passages (for the basses) didn't all come at once. Phew!

Pretty happy also cos a certain someone came to rehearsal today! heehee, shall not say much except that this is someone whom I've admired for a pretty long time. Honestly, the prolongation of my admiration is only due to that someone's great personality and character. My admiration won't go any further, cos I know it's a lost cause.

Makes you really interested to know who it is, right? Afterall I am famously picky with exceedingly high expectations. But you don't need to know who this someone is, cos he's unimportant. Moreover I still have 1 criteria that he doesn't fulfil. Thank God, really... cos it's a lost cause anyway even if he did fulfil it.

Anyway, another 4 more rehearsals before we hit the pit. I'll be missing two of them, cos gotta prepare for the exams. I honestly don't want to miss the rehearsals, cos during that 3 hours each week in Kallang Theatre, I get to keep my mind from my books and onto music. But I have to rein in my desires for enjoyment and do some deserving HARD WORK.

Had a shock also when my conductor said that this could possibly be our last ballet outing... cos of 'changes in climate'. So all the more to give it my very best. Only... Dear Lord, let this not be the last ballet performance we play for, cos it's truly an experience that I enjoy. Night after night of performing, knowing that above us on stage are people dancing and giving their very best. Each and every performance a unique one, with different special moments and different faults.

Hmm... other than the ballets, I would like to play in operas also. The last opera Madama Butterfly was pretty fun, but I missed my usual conductor. Not to say that the conductor for that opera was bad, he was good too. Just that relationship not there lar...
