From G&S sings to Song of Songs
Saturday, June 25th, 2011 10:38 am
So, lately, I've been doing and seeing some awesome stuff, performance-wise.
Two weekends ago, I went and did the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
negass 35th Anniversary Sing-Out marathon, wherein they sang through (no dialogue) all 13 extant Gilbert & Sullivan operettas in two days. ( Oh, it's too much happiness! )
Also, at the Sing-Out, MLC was advertising the Longwood Opera's annual G&S Scenes Night (co-sponsored bynegass), and I wrote afterwards and asked her if I could be in it (probably with "When A Merry Maiden Marries"), and she said yes! And asked if I wanted to recruit people to do an ensemble as well! Does anyone want to go in on a madrigal or something? It sounds like they especially need men to round out the program, so I'm going to send an email to some of those personally, but talk to me in any case. Or, y'know, Marion, or anyone you think relevant. :-)
There are also Monday-night sing-throughs of Mikado, Pirates, and Iolanthe scheduled for July.
Audience-wise: A week ago Thursday, I took the yeshiva bochur to this pop-music adaptation of Song of Songs at the BCA. ( I am the rose of Sharon... ) If you're curious, you can get the soundtrack here. I certainly had to, because there was at least one piece I thought had potential for a good Menschen arrangement. :-)
This is not even to mentiontheatreatfirst's Equus, which was remarkably (would you all be offended if I said "surprisingly"?) well done and of course deeply thought-provoking, and ASS's Midsummer Night's Dream, which I enjoyed very much despite its provoking no thought whatsoever. ;-)
Is anything going on tonight that we should go see?? (Assuming I make some headway on my website rebuild, which is my major goal for this weekend.)
P.S. In non-theatrical news, my workplace is looking to hire a school social worker OR clinical psychologist for grades K-5. (They're -- by which I mean I'm -- also still looking to replace me, in case anyone interested missed that memo.)
