Hello friends and fans! I’m back to tell you some more great stuff about my show. Right now we all are getting a well needed break as the Florentine prepares for it’s next main stage production “The Italian Girl in Algiers”. All of my co-stars are in the show, so you should really check it out! see www.florentineopera.org for more details.
Now that I have a little time off from touring, I thought I would let you all in on some of the behind the scenes aspects of our show. Today I want to talk about the bridge. At every performance, when we ask for questions from our wonderful audiences, questions about the bridge come up EVERY TIME.
This is what the bridge looked like before it was finished
Our lovely friends at First Stage Milwaukee have made us an amazing set, complete with a colorful full-sized bridge that is just perfect for my friends and I to go over every day during the show.
Here is a picture of all of us on our beautiful bridge with some of our fans!
Making such a beautiful bridge is hard enough, but John from First Stage also had to make the bridge in a way that made it easy for us to travel from school to school. he did a great job. the bridge comes apart into TWELVE pieces! Amazing!
here is a picture of my friends starting to take the bridge apart
Well, I have to run, but I’ll be back to tell you all about our fabulous costumes!
Happy tromping,
Lucy D.
