Urban Shocker
Doyenne
I suppose if I move forward several rows - next season - there will be less likelihood of "opera-blocking" ( to paraphrase cal ) because there will be relatively more width of stage in front of me and relatively less potential tall guy to block it. But movin' on up will involve bribery.
I wandered into the fancy lounge, and gave them a chance to admire me. Then, away to the new Friends lounge ( I'm not a member of that, either ), nicer than the windowless hellhole they had last season.
Sandra Piques Eddy sure acted boyishly cute as Cherubino, sounded swell, and was fun in the cross-dressing cross-dressing scenes. I agree that Robert Gleadow almost nailed his Figaro and that Ying Huang was rather disappointing. Jessica Muirhead sung beautifully as the Countess, especially that lamentation aria over her dud of a husband. I thought the staging and the sets worked well enough, though it all seemed a bit cautious. And the humour was well done.
