concertage
May. 28th, 2010 11:52 pmSo, despite yesterday's rehearsal*, the performance was awesome. Er. The piece with the TA conducting was probably the worst (and omg the German pronunciation was horrendous. dear choir, the last syllable of "Weine" does NOT sound like "nay"...), but the first piece and the last piece were pretty damn close to perfect.
(It helps that I adore the conductor to itty bitty pieces and would pretty much do anything he asked.)
(It also helps that the conductor is really really good.)
I am waaay too hyped on post-concert adrenaline to actually go to bed. Heh.
[* for those less acquainted with theater luck, there is a strong correlation between disastrous final rehearsals and excellent performances, and vice versa. which is why having a really good rehearsal was a bad sign, except for the part where it turned out not to be.]
