CARMEN

Ditto!  My very first actual theatrical stage experience ever was in Western Washington University's (1987 or 1988, I can't remember now) production of CARMEN.  I was in the chorus and enjoyed the experience immensely.

I'll have to think of more for the Topic of the Day.  There are several other operas that I like.

In 90 minutes I will leave for my eye appointment.  This is also supposed to be the day of the Rapture for all those evangelical morons, so I will be keeping an eye out for any Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  If I see one, I'll turn around and come home.

I'm happy to hear that Kay's show went well.  I first met her in the mid-1980's when she did several guest appearances with the New York City Gay Men's Chorus on their Broadway-themed concerts.

Around 1971, I saw the opera Of Mice and Men at the Cincinnati Summer Opera.  I remember very little about it now.  There's a video performance of Susannah that I have not seen.  It has received nice reviews/

Favorite operas; usually what I'm listening to at the moment, but I find these outstanding:
Don Giovanni, maybe the greatest, although I prefer The Marriage of Figaro
Carmen, I would kill to be able to compose something as wonderful as the Act Two quintet
The Rake's Progress
Amahl and the Night Visitors
The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny
Peter Grimes
La Boheme
Falstaff

I see from the new rehearsal schedule that I am staging "We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover" which is a bit of surprise.....but it's not happening until tomorrow night, so I have plenty of time to prepare....
