Last night my wife and I went to the opening night of An Italian Girl in Algiers at the Vancouver Opera.
The show was brilliantly funny, very well staged, and the singers and the orchestra really outdid themselves. In particular, the sweet voice of tenor John Tessier and the amazing range of mezzo-soprano Sandra Piques Eddy in the lead role were a real delight to hear.
Of course, I forgot to bring my Christmas present, namely opera glasses. They're now safely stowed in my suit jacket pocket for the next production, Fidelio.
