The booklet mentioned The Marriage of Figaro being a depiction of Enlightenment society unraveling but they wanted to make it resonate with our age, and so it began with all the characters dressed in period clothing, which they removed to reveal 1950s style outfits in burgundy, deep sepia, granite gray, white, and touches of gold, and placed on the mannequins. When disguised as a boy, Cherubino, played by a tall skinny woman with short abyssopelagic hair, dressed in a black jacket and tie and white shirt and black pants and combat boots, wore a hat with a flower in it to disguise herself as a girl.
On the other hand, Barbarina is played by a really short woman.
I already summed up the plot earlier.
At its heart, it’s (thank you, Strong Bad) a Shakespearian comedy. And I think the overly convoluted plot is part of that humor. I mean, the tragedies don't have complicated plots: Romeo and Juliet fall in love but their families hate each other, Hamlet's father is murdered most foully and Hamlet plots revenge, Othello is tricked into thinking his wife is cheating on him, Richard III manipulates and murders his way to the throne.
On the trip in, the sky looked like the cover of Rural Psychedelia. Only colder, somehow.
Jessica has short hair and earrings that depict faces.
A woman had purple hair. A woman had pale red in her blonde hair.
Laura, pronounced in the Spanish way, asked me if she really looked that tired.
When she left, I regretted not having Lush on my iPod.
Unlike with Cendrillon, they didn’t promise we’d be home before midnight because Classical operas are, with a few exceptions, such as Wagner and Glass, longer than Romantic or Modern or post-modern ones.
burning question: is Virginia’s state bird Jim Crow?
