Going Dutch
Over the past month, I have been involved in a production of Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman. The staging was a bit unusual in that the orchestra was onstage as a part of the naval-inspired set. Having performed the entire Ring cycle a few times, I feel that in many ways this opera was more difficult, in terms of both mental and physical stamina.
Here is a quick snapshot from one of the many props table: a model ship, rag doll, telescope and naval whistle.
The secret to long tone practice
Time and patience, and the proper foot rest.
