Tomorrow night: on stage
Sunday: I foresee laziness. Might go to the market if it's not snowing again.

Concert hall stage, dahling
For some reason the people who built the hall decided to make the stage a full six feet high, ensuring that anyone standing too close to the front is liable to fall off and into the laps of whoever's in the front row.

That's pretty common in theatres
Add in the usual slope down from back to front and going near the front edge can make someone in the audience £250 richer.

What will you be doing on this concert stage and how does its height increase the risk of falling off the front?

Singing,
and walking from one configuration to another (our conductor is convinced that singing in different 'formations' from one piece to another will impress the pants off the audience) while trying to look at the audience and simultaneously not plummet from the stage. I suppose the height doesn't increase the risk of falling off; it just increases the risk of falling into someone's lap like a rapist rather than falling off into the dark like a twat.

Yeah, it's not my favourite programme in the world.
Almost all of it is shouty and unrefined, so we'll probably sound like the population of a Yates Wine Lodge at closing time when the police arrive.

I'd rather belt out "Mae hen wlad fy nhadau" at the Millenium Stadium.
It's an infinitely better sing than God Save the Queen.

Ooh fancy.
I like a bit of Schubert lieder, me.
Do you sound like Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau then?

I wish.
Might dig out my Lieder CD of his for this afternoon, now that you mention it. Haven't listened to that one in yonks.

i like classical music in the car
i like "conducting" it and in no way looking like a mong trying to chase away midges *shames*

A lot of conductors look like that in actual concert situations.
You're not alone.
