An opera for me
I have seen one opera. Well, perhaps I exaggerate if I say seen. I was present when an opera was performed. I remember next to nothing of the evening. I was 15 or something. I have been told that the opera was Rigoletto.
Had I been in Boston a couple of days ago, I would certainly have gone to see Don Giovanni. Not Don Giovanni, the opera, as much as Don Giovanni, the character. He was played by Elliot Madore. According to The Boston Globe, Madore “brought athletic energy and narcissism to the title role”.
Athletic energy and narcissism in leather pants. And on top of everything else, he is a baritone. Yumm.
