The voices and orchestra in the opera Orfeo & Euridice were excellent. The sets were simple, but tasteful and charming. The audience gave the company a standing ovation. I've seen other AO performances, and they never disappoint.
The Orpheo was amazing and delightfully charismatic. The set made me lean forward to get better glimpses. The set almost stole the show from Orpheo.
Great stage settings. Lots of action. Wonderful singing. Wasn't too long. (I personally thought Aida was way too long for my seat bones.) Fantastic event.
Bad call to have a female play male lead in a story of profound love between husband and wife. The relationship never worked. It was weird and silly. Costumes and set, although nice to look at, did not support the story. It felt like a weird disconnected dream. Is the talent pool of males so slim that we could not have filled a male role with a male voice? Even a mediocre male voice would have worked better. The advertising artwork was stunning and what got my attention. How did we get from there to a weird Victorian-like bad dream? I had been considering season tickets after Aieda. Will not be doing so. Sad way to end the season.
The overall performance was amazing! The choir was wonderful, the dancing was beautiful, and the soloists were perfect! The mezzo-soprano wasn't too throaty, and you could hear her. My only issue is the end duet between the soprano and the mezzo, the soprano completely downed out the mezzo. Albeit, she was amazing, but I would have loved to hear that harmony. Amazing performance!
