Technical advice:
A microphone needs to be placed backstage. The microphone-output goes to a speaker on stage, which should be placed on a chair as close as possible to the singers position in the ensemble. It is used to transmit the singer from backstage in the second part of the piece.
There should be also a possibility for the singer to hear (or see) what is happening on the stage while she is backstage (e.g. headphones with audio-signal from stage).
