Poor thing. Seems everybody was overtaxed with assignments to really sit back and enjoy the opera. Too bad The Boy didn't know until the last moment he'd have all night to enjoy it. Ah well. I do hope you enjoyed what you saw. The rest has some nice bits, but my major thing was in that first act, so you saw my best. If it's any comfort, GO says it wasn't our best effort. So very much Mozart, and not really the best of Mozart. But I get to run around half nekkid, wear a really bad-ass earring and throw stuff. What more could a fella ask for?
I always find Oberon rather homo these days. Probably because he's usually portrayed by someone large and wearing leather, fabulous and queer, or a counter-tenor. Sometimes all three. And the whole fight over the changeling boy? Make of it what you will...
Did you find the copy of Shylock at your door? Have you had a chance to dip into it? It's rather a nice read, really. P'raps it helps if you know the people who some of the characters are based upon ;)
Have fun and do catch up so we can have another brunch.
