Propera - Opera with Props!

I was in a rather grumpy mood when i arrived at a rehearsal for Stephen's concert this evening, but by the time i left my mood was considerably lighter. This was mainly due to the hysterics induced when Crystel started dancing around and Terence suggested that Fiona, Crystel and I enter the stage 'dancing' the famous Cygnet part of Swan Lake. This isn't *quite* as random as it sounds as we are supposedly drunk and carousing at a party given by Claire when she sings Orlofsky's aria from Die Fledermaus.

Sooo serious ballet faces, linked arms, turning heads, little scissor jumps (having never done ballet i have NO idea what these are called in French), and little faux ballet steps. Our grand finale is of course the leg lift, sliding down to kneel on the floor with one knee raised. This would all have been grand and good if my foot hadn't been trodden on three times by the lovely Fiona! Terence was so excited we had to do it three times. I was awfully glad i wasn't singing straight after that!

I have a feeling this concert is going to be absolutely hilarious.
