Naked singing
Further to the above, my wife tells me that the stress of being naked on stage is, to a large extent, mitigated by the evident enjoyment of your audience and of men's admiring glances from the orchestra pit. The first time she did it she was singing the part of Salome and it is such a big part that the nudity seemed almost incidental and just a part of the play. Having made the first appearance it became a little easier but far from routine and every time she undressed for a part she was very nervous and needed some reassurance as to how she looked naked before she went on stage.
From my point of view I have to admit that I had some reservations about her doing it but also I felt some pride in her braveness. To observe one's wife all alone on stage in a state of total nudity is a considerable turn on and I have no regrets that she did it. We both hope that you enjoy her efforts from all that time ago.
