Romeo and Juliet by Gounod

Derrick Thompson, a senior at Lynchburg College, made his operatic stage debut:)
I had the privilege and pleasure of having a small role in the opera, Romeo and Juliet, over the weekend with Opera-on-the-James at EC Glass High School. It was in colaboration with the Virginia School of the Arts. What a great time we had! I got to work with Craig Fields (director), David Ossenfort (tenor), and Talise Travigne (soprano)and, Francesco Milioto (conductor)and my friend Naomi Amos was our rehearsal pianist. We were fortuneate to have a very fine orchestra as well. The ballet was wonderful, and the students were exceptional from the Virginia School of the Arts. Agustin video-taped some of it, and I got a few snap-shots off the video, so they are not like a really good picture. I would include the "pros" but they are under "management", so we cannot "publish" their pictures. But, you can see them on their webpages.
