Apologies for temporary suspension of the blog...

In the last few days followers of the blog have been complaining and wondering why it has dried up lately. The reason is quite simple: with the performance approaching, the budget not quite met, invitations to be sent, press conferences to be prepared, costumes to be bought and dyed -and the list could go on - hands are getting short!

Due to their multiple competences, their engagement, their sensitive way of dealing with arising problems and their wholeheartedness, Viv, Klaus, our "in house" reporters, and Mihaela are becoming more indispensable every day and are being solicited for other tasks, thus missing for the blog.

Viv is now in charge of running the music all through the rehearsals, again and again, back and forward, following Josef´s instructions (most of the time...) 6 hours a day, thereby missing the opportunity to comment the rehearsals´progress from the "visitors´bench".
In the meantime, Klaus and Mihaela (who both renounced their summer vacation!) are standing around the youngsters to make sure that they are behaving, concentrating and keeping quiet while other groups are rehearsing. Besides, they are around the kids at the Neghinita centre until late at night -and throughout it- keeping an eye on them and organizing games for the small ones, basket ball outing and creative activities for all until they are "willing" to drop dead into bed.......

    It is always such a pleasure to read your vivid reports.
    Your description of what is going on with the Firebird allows the reader of the blog to keep fully in tune with what is going on during and after rehearsals. I hope you will be able to continue reporting on the Firebird s progress although you are now responsible for the music.
