Re: More Opera for Cinplex...
Yeah, them cops wasn't exactly the Rockettes, was they?
When I saw the working rehearsal there wasn't that sassy little foxtrot ( or whatever it was ) between the priest and Katerina. Perhaps the slapstick cops evolved during rehearsals too. There was certainly more humour than I expected, over all.
My friend - the Sixty Year Old Opera Virgin - got a fine rush seat in the Grand Ring for $20 by lining up at 10:30 a.m. for the 11 o'clock box office opening.
The sound seems to become tangible and actually inhabit the space, like a three dimensional object. During the loudest orchestral parts I found myself looking up at the ceiling to try and locate it - and I thought I could identify parts of the room where the brass, and the strings, and the woodwinds set up residence. Quite extraordinary, though I've experienced a similar thing at Roy Thomson Hall once or twice. What treasures we have in these spaces - the George Weston Recital Hall is another, and the new theatre at the Conservatory too - I hope.
