Last week I got the offer to jump on a train to Coburg and sing the Queen of Schemacha in a new production by Bernhard F. Loges of The Golden Cockerel by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Of course I said yes, meaning I had to learn a whole new version of the role I sang about 8 years ago in Saarbrücken, a different translation of the text. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed it very much, working with wonderful colleagues, singers and dancers.
Premiere was last Sunday and I get to sing the second show as well next Thursday, the 3rd of November.
