Good morning, all! I have nothing new to report. Yesterday, I accomplished a goodly amount of work, and I watched several DVDs: a Hammer Film, THE MUMMY'S SHROUD (why? oh, why?), and a Venna state Opera production of DON GIOVANNI with a great cast and some of the most peculiar costumes ever seen: the first act began in costunes around 1650 and the opera ended with everyone wearing mid-Victorian garb. Every scene was a new change of fashion, wigs, and makeup for everyone. While it wasn't as boringly staged as the current Met production, it was painful to watch because of the constant parade of over-the-top fashions from too many centuries.
Today, more on THE MOST HAPPY FELLA and THE STUDENT PRINCE.
