Klavierhauptprobe, 25.4.06
A few things that were said unto yours truly last night, while I was girdled and wigged playing one character for the photo call, and ordering around the action backstage…often at the same time.
“Lydia, rolling into the grave this way is really dangerous for my penis.”-from naked corpse no. 1, First Tableaux
“Well Lydia, you tell him the semen literally needs to explode from his mouth. That just looks like spit.”-Barrie, the director
“Lydia, tell him that the light fibers need to descend at the same tempo as slowly dripping semen.”-Barrie again
“I’m sorry Lydia, but the bag of vomit exploded in my pants.” Andrew, countertenor
“Please don’t grab my tongue in this scene, or I’ll vomit.” Martin, king of the dead
“I was late because I couldn’t find his nipple.” Martin again
“The shit kind of looks funny, Lydia, what would you think about raisins…or peanuts or corn.” Isabel, design assistant
“Don’t you dare talk to me again about the blowjob. One can only take so much. And forget the semen.” Jurai, tenor
Le Grand Macabre, everyone….Premiere is on May 7th!

I must know: are they all saying this to you in German or English? Because if you know all of the German words for semen, nipple, vomit and blowjob…well, I’m just jealous, that’s all. Teach me.
