Ulm and Bayreuth

Well it couldn't have lasted... I am writting to you from Heilbronn, after two days in Ulm and Bayreuth respectively...and the audience reception has gone back to the more reserved though still poppular..this is mainly due to the somewhat large houses of young students that we are getting and so the energy is different. Ulm was a huge theater ( pictures on flickr! ) were they do Aida on one of the largest and most modenr theatres I have seen since beeing here..We had fantastic lights and about 15 technicians on call to help us out...We were in the wardrobes normally reserved for the Kammersingers( opera singers on a fixed employment ) and even got a warm up space with piano. I was looking forward to Bayreuth, a city largely know for its yearly Wagner festival : suprisingly enough most of the town seemed fairly stteped in the 70's in terms od decor, and our performance space and hotel especially seemed no exeption. Check out the pic of my room ! Audience there was also muted but they were still listening.
As Fellipo said he thought the initial " adrenalin" in the play had gone because we were settling into it,but he said that the energy was still high and the quality good.
I feel that I will have to revisit some things on stage and maybe try out new things to keep everything fresh..but that it our job...and it's not half bad..tomorrow we are off to Switzerland !!
