Staging Rehearsal at the Barbican

After a restful day off to sightsee and aclimate… it was time to get back to work! Yesterday afternoon the Singers and Grant Gershon took the stage at the Barbican along with with Director Peter Sellars, our  fearless pianist Lisa Edwards and the principals to adapt the performance for the stage at the Barbican. Enjoy a few of these action shots from yesterday’s rehearsal.

This morning, the Choristers, soloists and dancers are joined by the full ranks of the LA Philharmonic and Music Director for a dress rehearsal run thru before presenting The Gospel According to the Other Mary premiere to UK audiences this evening at the Barbican.

Free Day in London!

Well, we all made it safely to London and were greeted by a typical blustery March arrival of upper 30’s and rain. After our bleary-eyed arrival in London, LAMC Singers had a free day to recover from a long travel day and to begin to adjust to a seven-hour time difference.

So, after a hearty English breakfast, our fearless travelers ventured to all corners of the city – and even into the countryside, with several groups following the trail to Canterbury and others explored the learned halls of Oxford.Around the city of London, our singers visited museums, spied over London from atop the Eye, refelcted at Evensong services at Westminster Abbey, and of course caught some theatre in the evening and sampled the local fares at the neighborhood pubs.
