Jun. 6th, 2007 08:35 amHad a good rehearsal for the autumn concert last night, rather spoiled by the official NODA review of My Fair Lady (for those who don't know NODA stands for 'National Operatic and Dramatic Association' and is the British umbrella organisation for Operatic societies). Good comments on Paul, Carol & John (Higgins, Eliza & Doolittle respectively) but I just got a negative which was roughly 'Chris Hill as Colonel Pickering did not have the gravitas required to carry off the part'.
So three reviews, two didn't mention me at all and the third was negative. Now I had lots of positive comments from other members of the cast and audience (some of them complete strangers!) so I know that I shouldn't take one comment too seriously, but you know how it is. I was quite upset for a while but I've pretty much calmed down now.
Unfortunately I woke up abruptly last night from a dream, went back to sleep and then woke again at about 3:30 and took at least an hour to get back to sleep. This morning as well as tiredness, I'm also starting to feel like I'm just getting the early part of a cold.
Bleurgh.
