La Boheme
I don’t know what’s going on. Tosca last week and La Boheme this week have been so dynamic. I’m getting complaints about it being both too loud and too quiet. Ands of course some people say it’s just right. That’s mostly down to the sound engineer at the Met in New York, but I’m the one getting the complaints. I’m trying to balance out the levels but it’s all over the place.
I wonder if the Behringer can handle it somehow? Can I set it so there’s an upper limit and lower limit? This seems like something the board should be able to handle better and faster than I can.
On the plus side, the scenes from backstage during the intermissions are completely fascinating. It’s competence porn for production people.

National Theatre Live: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Another NTL at the PAC. This is the production from last March with Imelda Staunton as Martha. There were a few video glitches in the first act but I switched to the other recording and everything behaved after that. Other than that it’s fine; great performances, great set, good lighting. The sound is … something.
The vocal performance ranges from quiet introspection to shrieking argument which makes it hard to get a good level for this audience. I did like this thing the production did at the end of the second act – George throws his book and hits the chimes of the doorbell, setting them ringing. When the curtain closed for the short interval, they kept the ringing going, keeping the tension from the end of the act continue through.
