THE OPERA SHOW Milan, Italy
The final date of the inaugural tour ACRIMBOLDI TEATRO was postponed by one day due to the volcanic ash affecting flights and all transportation around Europe. The cast and crew traveled by train, coach, boat and taxis from Lisbon to manage the crisis and open one day later than scheduled. Some cast changes were made as various opera singers were stranded in London and unable to make the journey until later in the week.
Mr Sebastian was unable to attend as he was in meetings in New York, USA when the ash cloud caused UK airports to close down. He remained in the city until Sunday 25 when he returned to London to start rehearsals for GUYS & DOLLS.
