Four weeks on, and with a very happy holiday behind us, we now return to recreating Count Almaviva's castle of Aguasfrescas, this time on the delightful (and appropriately named) Orangery terrace at Westonbirt School in Gloucestershire. The heavy rain this week has been disheartening and on Wednesday when we transported the scenery from Bampton over to Westonbirt the rain prevented us from doing any more than storing it indoors. We'll have to make an early morning start tomorrow to build it in time for our rehearsals. Fortunately the sun is shining again and the forecast is fine for the coming weekend. It's always a delight going to Westonbirt where we have performed since 2000. We're hoping for a good audience, and a successful revival of this wonderful opera. The photographs show a sunny view from last year, and the damp state of play from earlier this week.
