(New Orleans) is filled with voodoo and vampire lore. Being raised in that city has influenced my aesthetic tremendously, and I hope to bring that into this production. |
It's a very appropriate show to be doing around Halloween because it's very dark and mysterious. There are some great chorus scenes and some dark stuff and funny stuff as well. It's a really perfect balanced show in many regards. |
There are a lot of opportunities to try out new ideas and new things through the music. I think that Gounod has done a magnificent job relating mystery and sensations and moods with the music. |
