Highly enjoyable. Back to what the operas were about "traditionally": theatrical extravaganza for the commoners. Dramatic staging. Visually overwhelming colors. Funny libretto. Sometimes bordering vulgar. No subtly. The two leading male singers are excellent. The chairs of Ping, Pang, Pong is a fun idea.
I'm glad to see a good turnout on this Friday evening. The AC is a good incentive: quite hot today.
