It’s been a long and wonderful journey! The day of the première is finally here!
Not the first time we have a tightrope walker in Luxembourg
I came across this photo by chance while thumbing through a book about Luxembourg in a waiting room the other day. Looks like they had quite a show in Echternach in 1910.
Looking forward to see it all come together tonight in the dress rehearsal! Let the show begin!!
Swapping my director’s hat for the composer’s for a few hours….
This morning we finally have the long-awaited Sitzprobe! It will be the first time that we hear the music as it is meant to be! Can’t tell you how excited I am to welcome the Lucilin Ensemble on stage! The last piece of the puzzle is being put into place!

Hand-written or digital?
Some of us use the handwritten score for rehearsals, others the digitalised version. Both have pros and cons… It is useful to have both actually!
