Cross the cloud-deck'd heights of V'ville
and D'burg's airy regions of light
through invading hosts of the dreaded Purple Loosestrife
- following a pickup is a good bet -
ever westward-ish
down straightways so belov'd of all New Englanders
past verdant fields dotted with cows, sheep, haystacks and homemade anti-Obama signs,
beyond the hills
and the vernacular architecture
you're there
Arriving in time for Armide.
ReplyDeleteHa! Good guess, but Lost in the Stars. Armide is the next expedition.
ReplyDeleteHurray for photo reportage!
ReplyDeleteSaw Armide when they opened it here; great singing, but a typical OA staging... For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like.
Well, it'll have the benefit of novelty for the rest of us. And since Glimmerglass is dispensing with baroque opera altogether next year, I guess we won't have to worry about the novelty wearing thin. (smh, as the young people say.)
DeleteIsaw OA's Armide back in 2005. It's most notable for Amour in a rather remarkable pair of underpants. http://chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com/447316.html
DeleteSomething to look forward to! Will they be as remarkable seven years on? Watch this space...
