Dido and Aeneas notes

small things don't matter as long as you tell the story
repetitive gestures and spatial awareness
noticed how audience could notice small problems
became more aware of good facial expressions in chorus
dancers could have used hands more to be synchronised
gestures help audience understand what singers are saying
singing opera songs for the first time in a show made me breathless from nerves which made it more difficult but acting came easily and i wasn't nervous about that
generally much less nervous than for a non-musical play
umbrellas and flags were very visually attractive
details are important in a minimalistic stage
consider every part of your body
take a show day by day, do not worry about the final product
