***These concerts are put together so quickly that each performer gets very few opportunities to work on their numbers at length. They simply have to keep moving on. This concert involved many vets who had not performed in a while, as you stated.***
I'm aware of that, but I have also head of many cases where, as soon as the lead performers sign on for these things, some of them arrange to work privately with coaches and pianists on their material before they even get to the first actual rehearsal. I think that's very wise, and it's certainly what I would do if I knew I were going to be singing/performing a role in a major venue and that it was going to be recorded by a major label. |
