We went to see the last opera of the past season last Wednesday and I had a great time. This production was different in that there was no stage set except for the lighting on the back of the stage and the entire orchestra was on the stage. The singers and the chorus were wearing evening dress and not period costumes. At first we were wondering if we’re getting our money’s worth, but, by the end I was convinced. The sets and costumes are usually ugly and add very little to the experience so no big loss there. With exception of the tenor, I really enjoyed the performers. Overall, fun was had.
