Craig Miller would have been so happy to have seen this!

I saw that on iSquint earlier today, that is an awesome video.

I never though that Source 4 and Lady Gaga would ever have anything in common. Until now.

So one of the members of the Stagecraft Mailing List has admitted the lead singer in the video is his student. Can you imagine going back to college after the summer and your professor has seen you in this video?

For those who don't know, Santa Fe Opera, like most opera companies, performs in rotating repertory, so they re-focus lights every single day. Many regular operas refocus even more than once a day, if they have an afternoon rehearsal of one show and an evening performance of another. Since SFO is outdoors, partially, I don't think they do that there.

Could someone explain Lady Gaga to me? I think I've read this is based on one of her songs?

It's based on 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga. Awful song! This song puts 'focus tape' where 'poker face would be (:

What's focus tape?

See the glossary entry focus tapes. (Though the connection to the video is tenuous at best.)
