Guess we got a brush-up after all

Pity our poor audience last night. We didn't have a brush-up rehearsal this week, but maybe we should have. We certainly weren't at our best last night - our Danilo was ailing (modifying his top notes, speaking a few of the "talkier" lyrics, singing at only about 60%), energy was low, timing a little loose sometimes, some tempi sluggish and in general we didn't exactly give a very tight performance. :-(
