My overall impression
After experiencing “AEsopera”, I walked out of the theater smiling and feeling like, “This is what Fringe is about!” Elyse Cook and I were promoting our shows on Facebook and reached out to one another for comp exchanges, and I’m so thrilled we both followed up and made it happen! This was my first introduction to live Opera (as opposed to programs on PBS) and I’m quite happy for the experience.
I’ll admit my Opera ears took a bit to warm up, so I was lost in the first piece, The Lion & The Wood Nymph, except from what I interpreted through the very capable and effective acting. However, by the time we rolled to The Fisher & The Wives, I was in full swing and loved every moment of the hilarious The Frogs & The Crane…actually, I may have been lost a bit on The Inventor & The Riddle, but again, the acting kept me engaged if I couldn’t catch the dialogue.
I attended on June 25 and our cast that day was:
Tania Solomon
Elyse Cook
Sarah Reynolds
Miguel Vargas
Kyle Hester
Jeffrey Stackhouse
Thank you, Elyse and THANK YOU to the fantastic cast and production.
