Aesopera

My overall impression

Opera isn’t exactly my first choice when it comes to theatre, but if you’re into it, then you should have a great time. This show is so well produced, in every since of the word, that it makes up for the small things I had gripes about. The actors are amazing singers but the fact that this is an opera makes them hard to understand at times – especially if you’re not familiar with the source material (and yes, it’s in English). The acting at times can be a bit of a bore, as no one does anything particularly special to really make their characters stand out. All of that said, the last segment more than makes up for anything that is “wrong” with this show, and if you can stick with it, you should end up having a good time.
