Opened on Sunday and runs until a week on Saturday. The same production as was at the Teatro Real in Madrid last season and is available on a rather gorgeous DVD - my five sentence review
Domingo, cast find their perfect match in Luisa
Pretty thin stuff this -- thin and pretty.
Low-budget Domingo: Spanish operetta features great voices but disappointing set and costumes - mentions the appearance of Nicole Domingo (granddaughter) as a supernumerary.
It's Domingo's show. The gracefully aging tenor, 66, here takes on the baritone role of Vidal Hernando (the revolutionary), which sits just-so in his voice these days. There are a few high Gs, easily compassed. Domingo proves suave and eminently poised, his voice even and present from top to bottom.
Domingo & Co. deliver spirited "Fernanda"
Chris on Opera-L left at the interval (no-one tell him it's much better after the interval) and Siggy, also on Opera-L, but also of this parish enjoyed it,although I would suggest a Rioja or a Ribera del Duero would have been a better choice of wine!
Update: Out West Arts was also there
And, finally, unrelated, but this story made me laugh.
