Miriam, I swear something like this happened to you once...some sort of accident/injury that you ignored in order to finish a performance. You opera divas! Tough as nails. Of course, one time Patrick went off the edge of the stage during James and the Giant Peach, and finished the rest of the show. While not the level of prestige as this, I was still impressed. Perhaps he should have been an opera singer.
ReplyDeleteThat's why, when I direct, there is NO orchestra pit! That, and I really don't want to fall myself...
