I’m glad to report that Thursday went well with all the big wigs from the film. We didn’t get all the music we’d worked on approved but the vast majority was passed so it’s been well worth all the hard work.
They’ve decided now they have heard all the ‘real’ opera voices dubbed over the actors, that they want to dub Julian Ovenden as well. He did a great job and is a very good singer but it’s hardly surprising that he doesn’t sound like a real opera singer next to Sally Matthews in the duet from Cosi.
I’m pretty impressed he had such a convincing go. We’ve asked our old friend, Alfie Boe, to be his voice which we hope will be a good match. He is in rehearsal at ENO at the moment so hopefully he will be More »

It’s not all fun though as we accidentally left the boys bedtime cuddly toys in the car in the rather stressful frenzy that was getting to the airport on time, and they haven’t slept in their cots as a result – it took over 3 hours to get them off to sleep last night without them!
Back to the subject in hand. I still hadn’t memorised all of the words when the car came to take me to the studio and was feeling absolutely exhausted, as for some reason known only to Seth, he decided to stay awake for a large portion of the night and felt very strongly that I should join him in his nocturnal activities.
