The artist in me has been truly honored this week. I have experienced what theater should really be like. A day at the National Opera House is one of art and pleasure.
You start off by walking through the stage door and up to the third floor where my dressing room is. Before arriving, a dresser has already laid out my costume, shoes, undergarments and hand towel on my dressing table. Ballet class is first. Dancers will need class before rehearsals or shows to warm their muscles and build energy for dancing. After class, I walked back upstairs and into the makeup room where I got my makeup done. It is definitely an honor to have a makeup artist! Then, back into the dressing room to put on the costume and then scurry down to the stage for some last minute stretches.
Ballet is such a beautiful art form and being here has really made me appreciate my profession even more. Its a privilege to be in this temple of art and to be entertaining audiences with the classics.
Here are some more pictures from a technical rehearsal. We’re getting close to opening night!!!
