straight back at the hotel - the whole company was invited to this evening in a German restaurant Tainan ... It hung so a German flag on the wall, there were German pictures, German beer (!), And otherwise mostly German food (sausages, sauerkraut, etc.). Today we were guests of the manager of our hotel where we are accommodated since the beginning of the week. Was funny to the center of the world to be found as good German food!
Yesterday was the whole company, including the section leader and principal players of the orchestra, already invited - this time from the orchestra director! There was plenty of Cantonese food - fish, vegetables, meat, in all shapes and sizes!
Strangely, you eat here because of the chopsticks so slowly that you are tired of feeling, but not much has been eaten! ... At least I have already dropped! ... (Although this now no one believes !...)
The last two days were very intense and exhausting. We have tried in two stage rehearsals all zusammenzubasteln, and I must say that Allen, the choreographer, and I have the main thing effectiveness price is more than deserved! But then the ballet is also great: 30 people dancing, body and soul, the very original and expressive choreography of all, are great especially the four soloists! After we have received for 60 musicians in the rather small gap (the Taiwanese industrial safety was thank God not present, and the orchestra board simply has not "really spy "...), we had two great specimens have been great fun! The orchestra is very good, is still better, and is very committed to the cause! Tomorrow is dress rehearsal, with the press there, so that they can already write for Saturday. Otherwise, the performances on Saturday and Sunday have already sold, each with over 1000 tickets in advance!
Yesterday by the way the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra was in Taichung in the sample, and during my concert master carried out the subsequent string-test correction, I received an invitation in order to step in immediately in October ... Let's see ...
Strange, but I have really the feeling of yesteryear back to where I was with the Dutch Youth Choir "de Oosterhoutse night care" on a concert tour. There is really a great sense of community among the dancers, they laugh a lot, everyone knows what he has done and is also judged on it, and everyone enjoys and works of art.
Today is the way in the Chinese calendar the 7th July - Taiwanese Valentine's Day! So today I'm been to the ladies team in the woodwind extra sweet and it did keep in only 19 minutes instead of 20 minutes - but since the accords were then sparkling clean! :-)
