2011.4.1. Seattle Men's Chorus

Seattle Men's Chorus has been my favorite choir group.
1st act: Life is a Cabaret. Funny with a small dancing troupe from Spectrum Dance Theater. 2nd act: Jake Heggie’s For a Look or a Touch, a staged musical drama about two gay lovers (one died at 19 who left hopeful poems, one lived in shame and loneliness until his 80s) torn apart by the Holocaust. Starring guest baritone Morgan Smith, actor David Pichette. Very somber. Posters with photographs showing the Nazi's prosecution of different people (Jews wore yellow star, homosexuals wore pink triangle, Jehovah's Witness purple, Gypsies brown. See details.).
