I've done very little opera work
but I enjoyed the few times that
I was involved due to the most
incredible late Sarah Cauldwell
She hired me as Technical Director
for a couple of shows with her
Opera Boston & I also did special
effects for "The Bat" using some
of the flying bats that I created
for "Dracula" on Broadway
She was a delightful director &
could infuse great interest in an
art form for which I cared little
My First Formal Theatre Stage Set Design was Johann Strouss's
" The Gypsy Barron "
a Three Act Operetta -
I WAS Quite Excited to become involved with the Monmouth Conservatory of Music as there new productions Set Designer - BUT -
When Introduced to the Cast ;
This is Bud
Our Set Designer
who Just Previously Worked For
RB,B&B CIRCUS !
The Entire Cast IMEDIATELY &
SPONTAINEOUSLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD !
( Did you ever loose your breath )
Needless to say ;
They were a Gifted but Alien Group that in the End -
I aquired A Last Laugh !
A L O N E
as I continued down Life's Path into the Next Adventure .
Sorry about their reaction Bud
I have been incredibly fortunate
as my circus background has been
of great benefit in the theater
I am often sought out for things
that might have some relationship
Maybe that's 1 of the differences
between theater & opera folks &
why I have never cared for opera
