After a glorious opening weekend... apparently this show has used up it's talent. The last two nights have just been off and while the show hasn't been horrible, I've been embarrassed with how things went.
During performances there is a quite bright beacon of light on me so the orchestra and the singers can see cues, tempos, etc. Well, last night it didn't come on so I was conducting in near blackness. I sent the bass player to get the light turned on. He came back to the pit and told me they couldn't turn on the light until intermission then he held up a flashlight and said the stage crew had said to use that.
...
Now mind you, I'm a resourceful person, but I couldn't for the life of me think of what I could do with that flashlight other than bludgeon the idiot that sent it into the pit.
