Visit from the New York muses
Despite the fact that I’m completely broke, I decided to go ahead and make the most of my New York experience with, you guessed it, opera. So this Tuesday I’m going to see Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte, next month I’m to see Grounod’s Romeo et Juliet and in December – how can I resist – I’ll be able to hear my favorite Mimi (Hong) in Puccini’s La Boheme. In January I’m to see Mozart’s Die Zauberflote –Bring on those six high Fs!
As if that weren’t enough, my parents are coming at the end of January fully intent on gorging themselves: Cyrano de Bergerac, La Traviata, Aida, Die Zauberflote, Rigoletto. You got that right, opera five nights in a row (make me look like a dilettante – I’m only joining them for three of them). But I’m also exploring contempory work with the thriller-opera, The Mines of Sulfer at City Opera.
I’m excited as I have my convoluted reasons for seeing all of them, which I will spare you. As you know, you’ll get the review here (Cosi is tomorrow night).
