Tuesday 9/14/10 – Alashan, Inner Mongolia, China

From Don’s Blackberry:

Sheep at 8am.
Third truck stranded.
Stones arrived for the road.

Horses at 2:30pm and the opera tenors can ride the horses up and over the sand hills while singing
. Cool!

Dinner and the Hohhut actors arrived – 3 more than I thought – great. And a crew. But no stage manager.

Oh and a guy asking about light and sound. – turns out to be a new vendor and designer – ha competitve bid with 2 weeks to go! So evidently nothing has started on tech. Ha! That killed us.

I got 4 songs. Out of 12. Not bad for day 1 of rehearsal. And the composer isn’t in the room.
