i also more formally met our rodolfo tonight and he is such a sweetheart. big jolly teddy bear of a man
#sasha speaks#one of our rodolfos. we have two casts#i've encountered him before now but this is the first time we've properly introduced ourselves#at break i was distributing the last of my hamentaschen to my orchestramates and i offered one to a viola who turned it down#and rodolfo was sitting nearby and asked if he could have hers and i was like knock youself out#and he was very excited about getting a free cookie lol#but also introduced himself and shook my hand and asked me what instrument i played and everything. very nice#at one point during act 2 when i wasn't playing i was watching the cast fuck around onstage and he caught my eye#and smiled and gave me some 'you guys sound great' gestures#then on my way home we ended up walking in the same direction across campus so we chatted as we went#he asked me how different it was playing opera vs symphonic repertoire and if i had a favorite composer#and told me about his very campy idea for a la boheme sequel. which i jokingly referred to as La Boheme 2: Mimi's Revenge#and he went yeah that's basically the idea LOL#really nice guy. i like when anyone is nice and friendly of course#but it's an extra treat when the singers not only acknowledge us down in the orchestra#but are supportive and enthusiastic and interested in what we do. really makes the night more enjoyable
