Italian Girl in Algiers
This was an absolutely delightful opera. We had great seats in Row D, seats 107 and 108 which was in the middle. We have seen this done campy style so we knew what we were in for. This did not disappoint. the singing of course was outstanding. One in particular, a guy who could sing and do some campy acting was great. He could the loudest cheer at the end.
There were too many trios, quartets and sextets to count in addition to the chorus. There were some funny moments involving the chorus as well as once they were going up and down and another time doing a sort of wave. It got great laughs. We had a young conductor, Rienzi was schmoozing in the audience with the Opening night crowd. The crowd was decked out in tuxes and jewels. One couple in particular was a young guy with a silk scarf and a gorgeous young woman in a beautiful designer dress and well coiffed hair. It was absolutely exquisite.
