2006/2007 I think I may have permanently blocked this opera out of my mind because I am really struggling to remember it. One of the male characters is portrayed by a woman. It is disturbing. Very, very disturbing.
Pros: Can't think of any specifically. That isn't a hugely bad thing though. Just means I can't remember.
Cons: The before mentioned cross dressing role. I am sure that is not how exactly it is supposed to be remembered but frankly it is difficult to watch a male role be performed by a women. It just sounds wrong. I am expecting a tenor or bass and out comes a mezzo-soprano. Maybe if I was more enlightened I would have found it brilliant. But I am not enlightened so it just sits at weird for me.
Must See Rating: **
There's no such thing as operetta!
