We rehearse Abraham and Isaac (first time completely, reintroducing the Circumcision and Sacrifice selections) and Israel in Trouble sections during the basic 1-4 time slot (which included time out for the photo shoot at the beginning) and continue with Amazing Joseph with most of us in the extra 4-5 hour.
From 5-6, do most of the work re the poster, deciding on the litho feature in Photosmart, then rendezvous with
Harriet for the Daily Planet benefit, where
Eliza (whose mother, the paper's co-owner, is also having her birthday) is part of the
entertainment (Giuseppe Verdi - La Traviata, and Georges Bizet - Carmen excerpts, among others), appreciated by
Ken Bullock (Daily Planet and Commuter Times correspondent), Adam Broner (Piedmont Post critic, Antigone singer, and set designer), et al. Upon return, finish the poster, send to cast (along with upcoming schedule and contacts) and Meghan Dibble for the Goat Hall Productions / San Francisco Cabaret Opera website, put material re Sex and the Bible at markalburgerevents.blogspot.com, and prepare for publication an additional sheet of Psalm 4. Before, managed a third page of composition for Vespers: II. Psalm 109: Dixit Dominus.
