BTW - have a very small speaking part in the opera! Yikes! :eek:
"Als wir über den Lybin-Prospekt kamen, waren wir schon viele Tausende. Etwa fünfzig Betriebe streikten, und die Streikenden schlossen sich uns an, um gegen den Krieg und gegen die zaristische Herrschaft zu demonstrieren."

How'd that sound? :D <hr></blockquote>

Bravo ! Your pronunciation was just perfect ! ;)

Seriously though, this bit about the 1. Mai revolution nearly broke my heart....

Pelagea(=die Mutter): Aber an diesem Tag trug sie (nämlich: die Fahne) der Arbeiter Smilgin.
Smilgin: Mein Name ist Smilgin. Ich habe zwanzig Jahre lang der Bewegung angehört [...] Jetzt stehe ich hier, hinter mir sind es schon viele Tausende, aber vor uns steht wieder die Gewalt. Sollen wir die Fahne weggeben?
Anton: Gib sie nicht weg, Smilgin!
Pelagea: Du mußt sie nicht hergeben, es kann dir nichts geschehen. Gegen eine friedliche Demonstration kann die Polizei nichts haben.
Mascha: Und im diesen Augenblick schrie ein Offizier uns zu: Gebt die Fahne heraus!
Pawel: Zwanzig Jahre in der Bewegung. Arbeiter. Revolutionär. Am 1. Mai 1905, vormittags 11 Uhr and der Ecke des Erlöserboulevards, im entscheidenden Augenblick. Er sagte:
Smilgin: Ich gebe sie nicht her! Es wird nicht verhandelt!
Andrej: Gut, Smilgin, sagten wir. So ist es recht. Jetzt is alles in Ordnung.
Iwan: Ja, sagte er und viel vornüber auf sein Gesicht, denn sie hatten ihn schon abgeschossen.

But you really need to hear it performed.... We only have two players, Pawel, der Sohn & Pelagea, die Mutter, and they have divided the roles between them, with some choir members helping out with a few short sentences, but it works very well.

Okay if today's the 22nd that would mean that Lady Z's birthday is still 6 days away. Ah well... :D Happy Birthday Lady Zeeke! [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]
