I'd like to come but it won't be possible because of money and I'll have exams at that time.

Hey guys,

I have the possibility to buy tickets on the internet, the price is 4500 HUF. I know that NeMo will come to the concert, and I'd like to ask who else is planning to visit me in June?

If You need tickets, or if You can only buy it more expensive, just tell me, and we'll find a solution.

All hail the Miskolc Opera Festival which may provide me with the NTSMS Meeting Part 3!

I think not. South American tour is cancelled, North American tour will go with Amanda Somerville substituting Simone and they're hoping Simone will recover for the European part of the tour.

I hope too... though Amanda Somerville has kick ass voice too!

The band agreed that they'll do this gig no matter what. Well okay, if everybody dies in a plane crash, than no, but it's gonna be Simone fronting this gig for sure.

Video about the choir rehearshals

What the coirmaster says (rough translation by me

):

"We got the notes at the beginning of April. They're good notes, very easy to read. We could gather about 30-35 people for this event.

First we're doing rehearshals seperately with each phrase. We're checking the original recordings from time to time, because we want to have an authentic sound. Epica is very exciting music, in my opinion more consistent than Therion, it's quite witty, but very precise, and it contains lovely melodies. We're enjoying the work very much and we can personalize different characters, which is great! But how we'll do live at the Ice Hall - that's a question of time. We have lots of work in front of us, like memorizing the lyrics, the phrase entries... I'd like to add that even tho I don't consider this really difficult, I definitely want to stand up on the stage without any worries and I think we're making a good progress in that."

I know they sound quite off in some places, but please note that the video was recorded 1,5 weeks ago. So considering that they got the notes in the beginning of April, they're pretty damn fast in learning. The choir has rehearshals every day, so no need to worry, hehe.

Later this week there will be more videos and photos from the choir rehearshal, and on the 5th of May 9.00 am you can check out the orchestra rehearsal on Borsod Online.
