More dubbing and deafness
We’ve just recorded the fabulous soprano Sally Matthews, who is dubbing Mia Maestro and the role of Fiordiligi in the film. I was at college with Sally (rather a lot of years ago!) and she has just finished a run of Cosi at Covent Garden to rave reviews so it was a real treat to spend the day recording her singing and catching up on gossip. She has a 1 year old so we had lots to chat about.
We have the editor, producer and director turning up on Thursday to listen to all the music and pass judgement. Rather nervous to say the least. AHHHH!
Had some less than great news from one of our consultants on Friday who thinks that, to add to the twins other problems, Arthur’s hearing loss is due to a rare syndrome and this will mean it will progress and there is a 25% chance Seth will have it too. I can’t envisage a life without hearing for him at the moment. Still, diagnosis is currently a guess so lets take it one stage at a time.

I am sure that the film score will go great guns. We have faith.
Sorry to hear about little Arthur’s hearing loss. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that the only way now is up. Will keep fingers crossed for little Seth too.
I have a friend who is deaf but he has the advantage of being able to lip read and is a brilliant chap to take to a party. We miss not a word.
All toes and fingers and eyes crossed for all of you.

Hello Juliette,
thank you your news. We are sure the film score will be an oustanding success as was your singing at Bedford Corn Exchange on Jan 10th.Gill and I both have links to the NHS and we are confident genetic research on the hearing problem will throw some light on a better future.
I think you have a great deal of strength to even tell us about it.Well done.
David and Gill Cowlishaw.

Thanks Alf, how interesting your wife Edith has a hearing dog -I have so much to learn, I didn’t realise dogs could hear for you as well as see.

Thanks David. Funny you should make that comment as the geneticists are looking at them at the moment to see whether we should do a CT scan at this stage or not.

Just discovered your blog – I’m a bit slow! So sorry to hear about the twins’ hearing problems. I’m a bit out of date hearing/audiology wise but stil have excellent contacts and always happy to chat through options or any advice you’ve been given- it can all seem so confusing. Fingers crossed things better than you first thought and remember there are fantastic advances to consider.
Good luck with recordings etc.
