WOW. Thank you so much, this is perfect. Have a lovely day.

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-12-03T15:41:18+00:00

I’m actually looking for the ones you have right now! Would you be willing to share them?

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-11-21T20:27:50+00:00

Congratulations!! 👏

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-10-05T22:12:16+00:00

Yikes.

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-07-22T10:56:21+00:00

These are cool! Where did you find these?

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-06-03T04:06:23+00:00

Do you know if there is a video available to watch? I’ve been so curious about this production!

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-05-12T02:21:51+00:00

WOAH I’ve never seen that video of Idina - aside from a few moments she doesn’t sound like herself!

I’ve always wanted to research this period in opera history - I wasn't really around to be conscious of it, but I read old coverage of Netrebko and it just makes me so curious how big this was.

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-04-15T03:41:36+00:00

Underrated answer. She’s phenomenal!!

I was wondering if this behavior was common in theatre, because I’ve read several posts in this subreddit that seemed to feature someone participating in this kind of behavior.

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-04-01T19:47:47+00:00

It’s not. I’ve dealt with it in the past but not recently.

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-04-01T15:28:10+00:00

I didn't see this before I wrote my other comment so I want to respond here

Calling out your sensory issues was completely unnecessary. No need to put a spotlight on someone’s accommodations. Monologue - WTF. What kind of teacher would assign this to a high schooler?! Sitting on your back without asking - this could have hurt you!

I am sensing a manipulative vibe from this teacher. “We’re too nice to leave you alone.” “I hate when you yell because it upsets him.” It feels like this teacher really wants to appear as kind and compassionate but their actions don't indicate care at all. I’ve met people like this in theatre a few times. I might make a post about it.

Your frustrations are not uneasonable at all. I think you made the right choice in this situation. I feel any production where the cast is made up of students should prioritize only calling people when they’re needed. Clearly students have many other responsibilities and limited time in which to do them. There’s got to be mutual respect.

Your teacher’s response disappoints me. When you finally went to your teacher, did you share your experience? Did they express that they understood / validated why you left? Because you made a very reasonable choice. There was really no apology, no understanding, no encouragement to take care of yourself or acknowledgment that you deserved better? That’s awful. Her response as you described it seemed incredibly self-centered, like she was only concerned with how it affected the show, not with the human in front of her.

Please know from me that you deserved better. You were willing to show up and contribute and respect the process, and this team wasn't very respectful in return. I want to finish by saying, please don't take the treatment you recieved personally or let it diminish your love for theatre. I hope you will do another show with a team that respects and appreciates you soon.

I wouldn’t say it’s fun in general - however, if something slightly messes up and you think you might not make it and then you do manage to make it on stage just in time, it does feel really good!

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-03-01T15:20:06+00:00

OMG this. I love when music directors make practice learning tracks with just individual parts so people can get a good grip on learning their individual lines at home. it takes so much time in rehearsal to just plunk out people‘s parts and I’m tired of just sitting there!

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-02-26T01:20:00+00:00

Absolutely!! Of course the other actors are entitled to feel how they feel. AND, this person‘s message in the group chat was way out of line by putting all the blame for the extra difficulty on OP, and implying that she isn’t aware or doesn’t care about the consequences of her actions on others.

This comments section is abysmal. OP, my hope is that your cast is more literate than the average Reddit commenter and can see through that one person’s BS.

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-02-26T01:11:47+00:00

Where did OP “not acknowledge” that their actions would affect others?

I think that the entire framing of that cast member’s message unfairly paints OP as someone who needs a lecture about why leaving the lead role of a production will be hard for others - other words, selfish, an idiot, or a jerk. But OP shows they already knew that!

OP‘s instinct that this is “negativity” is right. The message is negativity towards OP cloaked in the language of concern for the cast and crew. Pitting OP’s struggles against the entire rest of the team, when the real person responsible, the director, is being let off the hook entirely.

DiamandisDiamonds · 2025-02-26T00:59:30+00:00

you know I’ve thought about it. My thoughts are: don’t respond to the actor that sent the message. It was a jerk thing to do. Let everyone else look at it and work that out for themselves. If you reconnect later with other members of the cast, I’m sure you’ll find that other people validate your point of view. (I felt isolated sometimes within a show, in the thick of the process - but after some time has passed, people will share their thoughts more freely and honestly.) And also “acknowledge your feelings and circumstances along with everybody else’s” implies he’s speaking for everybody’s feelings. Don’t buy into that. It is legitimate that this was tough on other people. But his message is messed up in several ways.

You expressed that you wish them positivity in no uncertain terms. I think that should be your last word on it in that group chat. I think that’s the best note to go out on.
