Re: 50-ish singer whose voice "cut out": this has happened to me several times in my life, and was allergy related. Using guaifenesin when I'm taking allergy medicine solved that problem for the most part. Of course, it doesn't mean that that's HER problem, too. Oh, yes, also happened once on a FILTHY, DUSTY, MOULDY old set, and not just to me, but to several people in the show.
Re: a fixed ensemble of local singers who could take time to rehearse, etc.: This is a perfect description of the set-up in small to medium houses in Germany for which the "fach system" was evolved. There are lots of pros and cons for this system, and the long (sometimes exhausting) rehearsal periods don't always lead to better performances or productions, although they sometimes do.
