Went to Preview Night tonight and saw the RWB's The Magic Flute, with orchestra and vocals. The concert was great. My two favourite songs - the Papageno/Papagena duet and the Queen's Aria - were sung wonderfully. Had a great surprise of seeing the name of someone from U of M in the program that I knew, and had taken courses with.
UPDATE
There's a review - somewhat subdued - from the Winnipeg Free Press. I agree with the reviewer about the plot being hard to understand.... that's why the opera is called a confusing one. I think she expected the plot to be simplified or something by the introduction of the dancing. I found the opposite.
I still enjoyed it, though.
