Sitzprobe is a German term used in opera and musical theatre to describe a seated rehearsalâthe literal translation of Sitzprobeâwhere the singers sing with the orchestra, focusing attention on integrating the two groups. It is often the first rehearsal where the orchestra and singers rehearse together.
If your rehearsal dinner will be a fancy affair with lots of out-of-town guests in a hotel banquet room, a country club, or someplace similarly dressed up, you should send formal invitations. You'll also want people to RSVP so you have a head count for the caterer.
