This was the view of the orbit as I left the Olympic stadium after the dress rehearsal last night. It was well after midnight as we changed back into our normal clothes and started to make our way home. The rehearsal had been brought forward 24hours as the forecast for today is not good. We have had torrential downpours here during the last couple of days but last night the weather was good and we got through the rehearsal with no rain. For the third night running one of the scenes I am in was changed. I am told this is normal but for a production of this size but for the majority of the performers we have found some of the changes difficult to pick up. But last night it all came together and the final changes certainly improved the staging of the final scene. If you are watching the ceremony I am on the centre stage after the oath has been taken and also in the final scene.
I'll be watching. Sad about the rain. I was watching a football match from there last night and it was pouring. Hope it clears for the opening. Break a leg , I think that is what you say to performers instead of good luck.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting ...I'll be watching and I hope the weather is just perfect for the occasion.
