Regular readers will know that I’m not always as deferential to critics of the print media persuasion as they think I ought to be. Well strange things happen. Today, no doubt on account of the fact that anybody remotely qualified to review opera was at the opening performance of COC’s La Clemenza di Tito, I saw Opera in Concert’s production of Handel’s Orlando on Opera Canada magazine’s dime. My review will presumably appear there at some point if it isn’t completely awful.
Précis… it was really rather good.
Nice! I guess congratulations are in order?
I suppose so. It’s a bit intimidating but I did get to see a very good performance that I otherwise wouldn’t have.
Have just realised how hard it is to write a review in 350-400 words.
That is definitely a challenge – even 500 would be easier. Good luck 🙂
