I had a fantastic week rehearsing with Gothic Opera. It has been full steam ahead, culminating in a Stagger Run of Le Loup-garou yesterday. (A stagger run is usually the first run of the show in order of events). In this week’s blog post, I will share with you some wonderful shots captured by Nick Rutter during the rehearsal process. I hope they spark your imagination and entice you to come and see the show live at the end of the month.
Great photo, Charlotte. Looks like everyone is hard at work.
Cheers John, I always like to share photos but often in rehearsal if someone else doesn’t take them I don’t get an opportunity to.

Wonderful – only an ocean can keep me away!
Hope you have great turnout!!
Thank you Sheila, I’d love the opportunity to work in the States, not many opportunities advertised at the moment sadly. I hope that little Ella enjoyed her birthday, I bet you both spoilt her rotten 😊.

This looks exciting. I am watching and willing you on from the sidelines, though almost never at my computer these days.
Thank you for coming to visit I know how busy you are. I’m excited for opening night.

Your expression in that last photo… I wish I could make it there at the end of the month to see what caused that one! lol. It does look like a fun show.Thanks for sharing the photos!
Haha at least you can see I wasn’t aware. No time to strike a pose. I wish you could see it too, it’s going really well, I’ve enjoyed the French arias from the cover role too its’ nice to be singing in French again for a change.

It’s so interesting to see behind the scenes. To see some of the hard work you all put in to give us, the audience, a beautiful professional result. Fabulous! 🥰👏👏😘
Thank you Gill, I wish you could come to watch.

A wonderful range of subjects well captured
Unposed photography show frozen moments that I otherwise wouldn’t see, I enjoy them and I’m glad you did too.

Nice photos, Charlotte. And you showed the mark of a true professional by leading off with the photo of the stage manager…the hardest working behind-the-scenes person in any production.
You know I always support the behind the scenes people Don, I love every aspect of the arts, if people only knew how many people go into every show!
Best wishes
Charlotte
If only I could be there! But the rehearsal looks like a ton of fun!
I wish you could be here too. London is beautiful at this time of year. Having great fun.

Thanks for sharing. A stagger run is like the “répétition générale”? The last full rehearsal in costumes before the first show?
Rehearsal in costume should be this week, not long to go now. Opening show 27 October to 1 November. Spoooky weekend of fun.

27? That’s “domani” almost… (break a leg)
I love that surprised look on your face!! 😲
Quite a candid image and one my Mum laughed and said was pretty honest hehe.

Any great outcome no matter the goal is preceded by a heck of a lot of hard work. Great job Charlotte and your teammates too!

Thank you Alan for your lovely message, I appreciate it.

I guess it is never to early to practice for a role as Lady Macbeth as one can see from your last photo,
Kidding aside, these are pictures of yourself and coworkers in nonperformative situations. Degas was known for these, and you mentioned him before. Best to you, as I know you will be “exceller sans precedent.”
