It’s June 10th already??? My goodness where does the time go?  I guess when you’re knee deep in the production of your first professional opera, time can tend to slip away from you!

That’s precisely where we are now: knee-deep in Barber of Bridgetown.  Both the cast and orchestra have been in rehearsal for close to a month, but the production crew has been hard at work since February. We’re starting to see the show develop as a whole and it’s really something exciting.  This show is going to be a lot of fun and guaranteed to be like nothing you’ve ever seen before.  Tickets go on sale this weekend, and with only three shows, it will be important to snap up your seats early!

In other news, EOC had a wonderful trip up to Seattle in which we played two wonderful educational performances at Nisqually Middle School, and Einstein Elementary.  The trip culminated with a spot at the Commons in the shadow of the Space Needle at the NW Folklife festival.  Thanks to everyone who supported us on the trip!  And especially those of you who withstood the rain at Folklife!! Here’s a few pics from the Folklife Festival.

Libiaaaaaamo! Libiamo, ni lieti Caaaaaaalici…

Must be Mozart, nothing else makes your face do that

What a cool place to play!
