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 Lodgeat 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?

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