Opera performance #2

So the second performance of The Magic Flute was better than the first. That is good...we are improving!!

The one thing that I find it hardest to do is to concentrate. I don't know if it is because we are on the stage and things are going on above us that distracts me so much (normally we are in a sunken pit) or if it is something else...?? I've found that I usually have one slip-up per half where I am so engrossed in what is going on on stage that I forget to count and come in. Perhaps it is the fact that we are resting for a couple hundred bars and then have to play??

If anyone who reads this has experienced this, found a way to overcome it, or has any suggestions, let me know! This little problem is so annoying!
