Das Rheingold Cast Party
June 22, 2008
This event occurred in the Opera Cafe after the performance on Sunday. The cheese disappeared quite rapidly and they ran out of plates, but otherwise there was plenty of fruit to be had. Donald Runnicles asked questions to the cast as they all stood around outside of the women's restroom. The best part was when Runnicles asked Andrea Silvestrelli how he felt about bel canto, Silvestrelli had to admit he found it boring, and then launched into a stereotypical bel canto tune, pretending to be the orchestra. Many people had to leave the cast party early to check into the Auditions for the General Director by 5:45pm.
