Salome

[limey]

@Clod - outs a matter of who you know. I think we got to this gig because we'd met someone at another event (community outreach by a local professional orchestra), so when a couple of the regulars for this outfit weren't able to be there wee filled the gap and have been asked back ever since.
@Monster - the orchestra are all amateurs. The singers are semi-pro, or students. The outfit is called the Edinburgh Players' Opera Group and has met every year for seventeen years, initially tackling all of Wagner's operas, then moving on to R. Strauss. We're back with Wagner next year.
So few rehearsals? Well, you'd never get us all together for more rehearsals (some people travelled up from London etc.). To be honest, the scant rehearsal ads adrenaline which probably improves things.
There are still photos (will try to remember to post a link later), but I don't know about video for public consumption.
