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. The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: On Wednesday, we had on and off rain through out the day, but it seemed to break right before we had to head to the softball game. I walked out of the Malton Place Residence and spotted the rainbow in the sky. I then booked it over to the theater, where I knew exactly where I needed to be. I do wish it were a full rainbow, but I do like how it leads your eye to the flags and the theater.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: 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: Before the show this afternoon, I spotted these boys practicing somesoccer moves in front of the theater. This is not an uncommon sight,with many picnickers bringing activities to enjoy the Festival groundsand the lovely summer weather. You can see some patrons gathering infront of the theater to browse our gift shop and pick up some snacks atthe concession stand.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: Last weekend's Showtalk in the Thaw Pavilion was centered on Medea. The first half had Gregory Nagy, the director of the Harvard Center for Hellenistic Studies, who spoke about the play by Euripides that was the source of the opera's story. Jake Gardner and Felicia Blum acted out excerpts from the play to aid in Gregory's explanations. The second half was Musicologist Peter Bloom (not shown) explaining the differences between the French and Italian versions of the opera.William Brown
