MACBETH REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
N.B. All rehearsals to take place at St James’ Church School (formerly ABC) TA1 1XU (see
‘Maps’ on website for location).
Music rehearsals: 3rd April – 15th May

Please reserve the following dates (Thursdays) for further music, dance and floor
rehearsals:
May 29th (?), June 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th.
The final rehearsal period will begin on June 28th (details to follow).
I do realise this is a fairly punishing schedule and that some may not make all calls,
particularly the early ones; but there is a lot of music in this wonderful opera.
