If this is a high school or college production, I am very impressed with this orchestra and how good the music sounds.

Oh my god! The way she sang her "soar" is so pure and bright! It's so pretty and brings out the image of Christine!

I'm planning to join an opera pit so this gave me an idea on what to expect. Thank you

Very good but it seemed Phantom was a little flat at the end there on you will "curse" and "day"

Orchestra is excellent. Don't suppose you will upload any of Act 2?

Loved this look from the pit. By chance what was with the hand signals at 10:45 toward the horns? Trying to keep them back a little? Thanks!

Andrew Morton Hi Andrew. No, it was one of those wonderful little moments in live theatre. The MD had to react to something on stage which meant elongating a bar during the oboe solo. He was basically giving an appreciative high five to the oboist for going with it.

Is the pit on the stage where it usually is? How do you see the actors?

[@DerekHartley]

@@samueloliver-sherry-musici9171 By definition the 'pit is below the stage. There's a screen underneath the camera that the MD can use.

Trombone I see you erasing as you go... Last day? sub? lol. nice work everyone. Edit - Just being able to conduct this is a performance in itself. The beginning of the book could say: Colla Voce - Entire book.

I'm not a theatre geek so when I see these I get excited. ibb.co/JR4P8LD ibb.co/TwF92XQ Inside our municipal hall. Must be neat to travel for shows.
