We have been on stage all week, which has been exciting, but also challenging. It’s amazing how many people are involved in this project, and the many different opinions. Sometimes it makes for a brilliant result, and sometimes it just makes soup. To be involved in such a project as the First Emperor is such a great honor, but it has been so much more. First of all, our cast is so wonderful. And everyone is not only nice, but so much fun! And the musical staff and directorial staff from the Met are supportive and lovely. Our assistant director, Ms. Wang, is so full of life and energy, and although she doesn’t speak English, we laugh so much with her, as she imitates us singing. But she is fantastic showing us exactly what she wants us to do… and fortunately we have a translator, Kerry, who is also great fun to have around. We have our bumps in the road, but for the most part, we are having a blast.
