Dear Liz As a former manager and coach/consultant i say the opera group sounds 'small time" ... he couldn't even get the rehearsal schedule to you. You had prior commitments.. the musical seems to be important enough to you to not consider cancelling immediately.. so i SAY LET ONE MARCELLINA HAVE THE OPERA.. and you enjoy your musical gig.. You certainly could call and just say .. without a schedule of rehearsals and your prior commitment you had no idea of his rehearsal schedule. And you sound like a good musician.. tell him you could have the opera up and ready next week.. after the other show opens.. and that you looked forward to the production. NO MATTER WHAT .. you will have presented yourself as a professional. (he is not).
all best wishes..
