"From the steps of the opera, " says Girard, "to appearing in a major production. Quite a story." Girard is flying to Canada the next day, where he will be editing his next film, Silk, which stars Keira Knightley and Michael Pitt. It follows the story of a married silk smuggler who goes out to Japan and has an affair with a concubine.
Like every production he does, he says, it took him somewhere new. "This was much more emotional and sensual than anything I've done before. You write characters and you know what the scenes are about, but there's this other stuff that only comes out when you're shooting. It went much deeper into eroticism. There were scenes that seemed to come so easily.

"Suddenly, I found myself crying on set. I've never done that before." Given this, where did the Brecht and Weill productions take him? He had, he said, the feeling when watching it that he had gone somewhere new. "It was in this idea of the flowering of femininity. When I saw it tonight, it seemed even crazier than I thought it would. It was as if all the dancers were doing their own thing. It had come alive." The Lindbergh Flight/The Flight Over The Ocean and The Seven Deadly Sins, Mon-Wed, August 14-16, 7.15pm, Edinburgh Festival Theatre, from GBP9.50
