Mm.

Right.

Mm.

The world.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The prospect of doing Wagner with an orchestra of only 30 really didn't seem to make sense.

It's being conducted by our music director, Robin Tiki rt, and he, in conjunction with my artistic colleagues, felt it would be preferable to have the orchestra on stage so we can have a bigger orchestra and then the performers.

It's a very small cast, and the chorus can be off stage.

So to have the cast semi staged in front of the orchestra and I think that will actually give the audience a different and actually a fantastic experience.

Um, so we're actually quite excited about that?

Yeah.

Mhm.

Mhm.

People are booking tickets now because they're desperate to be here, and they're saying to us we recognize who might not be able to come, but we have to.

We have to hope and have optimism and have something to look forward to.

And people feel safe here.

Um, and we work incredibly hard to to ensure that, and also to give people a good time.
