Stuttgart Aida and the dancing cheerleaders



The slaves in this production of Aida were cheerleaders complete with pom-poms and leotards. It was a stranger take on Aida but I imagine I was a little bias since I only came to the show the day before. A very quick staging rehearsal and curtain went up. Its always exciting to meet colleagues on stage. This King was aged a bit as you can see above. The idea was that this King was more like a politician. My costume was more the commander of the navy. All in all a good, fun trip to Stuttgart and a couple of successful shows. Got to meet some new friends and I look forward to going back in a few months for a run of Figaros. Up next is two Verdi Requiems. Always a great time. First one is in Hof, Germany on Saturday and the next day in Berlin.
