That was good! I've never seen it staged quite that way before. Sparafucile actually reminds me a lot of Bill Sikes in OLIVER TWIST. I never realized it until now.
You do know that being a redhead would have made you a “natural” Sparafucile back in the 1850s, per the lore around Paolo Damini, the role’s originator? Though I think he may have worn a wig or at least a hat, due to hair loss... all this I read so long ago in someone’s diary, but just to say, seeing and hearing this sung from the “coulisses” just offstage does put me in mind of the earliest productions, if not the earliest of all... very good work and my blessings for your career...
