Post-Performance Durian Feast (Finger-licking goood!!)

Whew! The performance is finally over! After almost three months of hard work and a week of intensive rehearsals, the performance closed with big applause. At least all the efforts were worth it. The operatta was set in 1940s immigrant New York, thus we had to wear clothes befitting that era and the various migrants we were supposed to be representing. The guys seemed to have it easier as we ladies were a bit stumped on what exactly to wear!

This performance proved even more special to me as it was the last one under my Artistic Director. The Lyric Opera is in the process of choosing a new Artistic Director, but meanwhile, we wanted to make this show as special to her as possible.

After the performance, we went down to Pregos at Raffles City for pizza and pasta, before heading to Geylang for a durian feast, as a little celebration to mark a show well done. Already looking forward to the next performance, wonder which one it will be.
