Rapunzel was soooo much fun! Craig and Deb joined us, and Deb observed that we were the only four adults there who didn't have kids with them. Which is really too bad because as an adult I thoroughyl enjoyed the songs, the jokes, the acting and the set design. It was fantastic. And having so many children in the audience was cool too, because they are so uninhibited in their reponses- laughter, screams, whatver. Afterwards the actors and pianist let anyone join them on stage and just answered questions and talked with all the kids who crowded around them. Very, very cool. Makes me want to write a children's play.
But it wasn't really an opera,in the sense of sopranos and tenors and all that. More of a normal musical. Which is fine. I just had the impression it was an opera for some reason. So Michelle and I will still be looking for our first opera to go to.
Know of any?
