Along with a pretty nice review, there’s this little paragraph:
Next season, the company promises to continue this balance of the tested-and-true with the new and interesting. Mozart’s opera seria Idomeneo will open the season followed by Poulenc’s little-known Pagliacci & La Voix Humaine. Verdi’s classic La Traviata and Gounod’s Faust will round up what should be an exciting season for opera in Silicon Valley.
Can you find the “oops”?
We have a good Mercury News review as well.
I adore Poulenc’s underrated music and can’t wait to hear what he did with “Pagliacci.” (Just kidding. Do I win a prize?).
You are the first to reply, to be sure! But about the prize … um … want some REALLY bad oboe reeds?! ;-)
Sounds like a great season – just got my contract for Faust this fall! Will be my first time, anything to look forward to?
I can’t really remember Faust all that much … it’s not my fave … but when I’m done cleaning I can pull out my part and look through it. (I purchase parts if they are available; I like to have my own copy!)
