I think this is exactly what I did yesterday without knowing I was doing
it. I arrived at the Kennedy Centre for my audition about 45 minutes
early, and with nothing much to do (except read a book), and instead
managed to get myself all worked up and nervous in anticipation of having
to wait to audition. The result was that by the time I actually went into
the Opera House for the audition, all the adrenalin rush had dissipated,
and I felt -as you said - energised and ready, but no longer nervous.
I think I'll have to make this a regular part of my "technique" as well -
it really worked!
