For years I have been the technical director at a local high school. The musical director, who is now being his own artistic director as well, asked about having a headset for productions.
On one hand he is the pit conductor as well. In that sense he could use one.
On the other hand, he has a tendency to micro-manage everything. I fear his production will turn out poorly because he will get caught up in trying to run all technical aspects rather than conducting the pit.
I see both sides. My initial thought was "NO WAY." But the more I think about it, I am not so sure. Would appreciate any constructive input on the matter. Thank you.
