And it is a moment I'll never forget. All the other actors and dancers were busy off to the sides and no one had taken to the stage yet...so I had the wonderful luxury of walking slowly out from stage right wings and into the Met Opera spotlights.
Cameras are intensely forbidden, but honestly, I didn't need to capture that moment on film, because I will never forget the steep intake of breath and almost imperceptible rush of tears to the corner of my eyes that told me I had MADE it.
Oh and also, that fire scene in the final act of the opera is going to be intense. Stage fire is still real fire, and it's HOT! (Especially when you are three feet away from it).
Hooray for danger pay...
