@operamagazine One of the ALL TIME, ALL TIME greats. Start with anything⦠or his Onegin. A combination of passion and precision. Freni/Shicoff/Levine DG.
MY LIFE ONLINE has crossed the pond! My 1-woman comedy opens Friday in a new production at Mobile Opera, following its World Premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe last year. Is it OK to promote a show about digital obsession on X? @S_minns @lana_bode @edfringe@djmishmish#edfringe
It's a wrap! Hours after our last performance, Sarah and Lana are anxiously checking to make sure there are NO. MORE. SHOWS. Well, they deserve a rest, having brilliantly rendered my opera. Bye Fringe! @S_minns @lana_bode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
Was "Waiting for Godot" inspired by the Fringe? One waits forever for reviews to drop... but finally they do come in! The Scotsman gave us a lovely notice. (No link here due to paywall.) 4 more shows! @S_minns @lana_bode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
Don't mess with Sarah Minns! Every day at the Fringe, Sarah and M.D. Lana Bode are knocking out audiences. Check out our first review in the Edinburgh Reporter! https://t.co/QoZxcqK3p9β β β /

No, this isn't the name of our show, but we're just as much fun! MY LIFE ONLINE is off and running at the Fringe. Happily the early reviews have been lovely. Thanks to our local pub for the sign!

Here's the mob trying to see our show! Er... OK, it's really the scene on High Street. But a bunch of these folks DID come to our premiere! Kudos to Ms. Minns, Ms. Bode & Mr. Platt for a great launch.

It's D-DAY... no, E-DAY, with our EDINBURGH FRINGE debut today! The incredible team of Sarah Minns, Oliver Platt & Lana Bode brings MY LIFE ONLINE to life. Check out this snap: we're at bottom center! @S_minns @lana_bode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
Edinburgh at last! After months of prep, we've reached the Fringe. Peek into our final rehearsal: Oliver Platt works with Sarah Minns, as they nail down timing (even the bulldog is fascinated). @S_minns @lana_bode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
Why rehearse? Because even the simplest action might not go as planned! Watch Oliver ask Sarah, "Pick up the headset. Take it off your head now. Just put it up against your ear..." What could go wrong? @S_minns @lana_bode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
"Who's got my keys?" Oliver Platt stages the moment Kay finally dares to go outside. "You're asking the universe... then AHA! You use them in your hand." Finally he defines her "safety zone" on stage. @S_minns @lana_bode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
Philosophers have debated for ages: Does a show really exist until its poster does? Finally ours has dropped! Look for it on the streets of Edinburgh (and on buses around the world). @S_minns @lana_bode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
Priorities. As an African proverb says, "The night is over before we've finished counting all the stars." This pup serves as a corrective after hours of intense and wonderful rehearsal! @S_minns @lanabode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
How do director and star work out a key point? Kay commands her devices, "Shut down!" Watch Sarah Minns sort "5 devices...1,2,3,4,5, pager...in the original version" (yep, we already tweaked the script!) @S_minns @lanabode @edfringe@theSpaceUK@djmishmish#edfringe#fillyerboots
What are the chances? Two Fringe posters with, well, alert expressions end up RIGHT NEXT to each other in the theater program! (N.B. No Teletubbies in our show.) Check out the program at https://t.co/pt8bfu8Rl6. @S_minns @lanabode @edfringe@theSpaceUK#edfringe#fillyerboots
Broadway bound? Er, no, we're Edinburgh bound, with the great Sarah Minns! As may be seen, Sarah's quite shy. If anyone can pull her out of her shell, it's the sterling team of Oliver Platt (on floor) & Lana Bode. @S_minns @lanabode @edfringe#edfringe#fillyerboots
