The opera again? Yes, another matinee on a beautiful day...but well worth it.
Hector Berlioz's "Beatrice et Benedict."
Energetic, lively, and as always, well staged.
From John von Rhein's Chicago Tribune review:
"The savvy stage director Nicola Raab takes some liberties with the text, updating the action to Sicily at the end of World War II, where the soldiers bivouac, the women are made up to look like the Andrews Sisters, and the sexual banter is spelled out in Styrofoam letters."
And the drinks after with Ms. J. at Aria Restaurant in the nearby Fairmont Hotel were really good as well. Let it be the summer of cilantro...
