The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The other day, I was going around campus taking photos of some preshowactivities when I came across this view. I had been searching for a goodway to get a photograph of people under the trees picnicking, but it wasalways tough because the background would always be blown out if Iexposed for the picnickers. I then came up on this scene and knew thatit would turn out if I made them into semi-silhouettes against thebright background. The part that really strikes me though is how thetree trunks divide the image into four different scenes, each telling astory.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The young artists presents special performances including the Meet Me at the Pavilion series and Arias and Asides concerts during the summer. They select some of their favorite pieces of opera and musical theater to present the audience. This one took place in the Thaw Pavilion; you can see the paper globe covering the light over the stage.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: Who would I have thought that I could try my hand at sports photographythis summer? I didn't, but the Festival participates in a softballleague against other businesses in the area. Yesterday, we won the game23 to 8 against the Better Batters team. Anyone who works at the theatercan participate, including management, technicians and the singersthemselves, such as Adam Diegel, who plays Don José in Carmen, is seenon top hitting a home run during the bottom of the forth inning. Belowhim is Mike, the Technical Director Intern, throwing the ball to firstbase, and on the bottom is the enthusiastic crowd cheering on our team.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: No, aliens have not taken over the Glimmerglass campus. Today there wasa welding seminar held in the scene shop for people to learn how toweld. I had the honor of attending and trying my own hand at it. Thehelmets have tinted glass in them, many times more dark than yourordinary pair of sunglasses. This is used so you can look at the weldwithout damaging your eyesight. Here you see MIchael demonstrating someof the more advanced welding techniques for some of the stage ops.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: Two weeks ago, our double billing of Later the Same Evening and A Blizzard On Marblehead Neck premiered during a heat wave hitting Central New York. The decision was made during intermission to keep our walls open during the performance of A Blizzard On Marblehead Neck. This rare occurrence cooled off the audience, letting the gentle breeze waft through the space. The heat didn't seem to dampen the crowd during curtain call and the show seemed well received. I took advantage of this situation to photograph the show through the screens on the outside of the theater.
