Opening night at the opera

[Canuck]

Aside from making kilts, I'm a stage Manager for opera. That career has spanned for 35 years. I was recently offered a gig that I couldn't pass up. Stage managing a production of AIDA. The last time I did this opera was 29 years ago.
So some photos of course.

There's always someone looking over your shoulder

My tulip kilt pin to go with my "Dutch Friendship" tartan

Cool!

I love Aida. Saw it in Japan at the baseball stadium back in, I think, 89 -- back when it was touring as an "experience opera" complete with actual elephants in the triumphal parade. A bit overdone, but fun.

And you're seriously stylin' there. I remember when people dressed up to go to the theatre (especially the opera)... how times have changed. Thanks for holding up the standards!

great looking kilt, great looking set.

I'm music director for the local community theatre. We just finished "Into the Woods", and I must say you dress much better than our stage manager! When I was in college we played the "Aida" grand march for graduation, instead of "Pomp and Circumstance". It was a special request of the college marshal.

You look like one of those natty guys at the opera, ... and a lot like the Pharaoh. Great looking tartan, sgian dubh, and kilt pin. You ought to come down and stage manage the Santa Fe opera. They can probably use the help and expertise.
