It was in Biblical or Elizabethan English which none of my companions could follow. <br />mechehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752033708046142327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252382865816191535.post-24179200409827056972016-01-23T13:46:07.955-05:002016-01-23T13:46:07.955-05:00I attended both performances and loved them both. ...I attended both performances and loved them both. Kudos to Apotheosis Opera, their wonderful conductor Matthew Jaroszewicz, and his team of musicians and crew. I disagree with your view of opera in English translation. My companions and I enjoyed hearing the opera in New York's vernacular and look forward to hearing "La Fanciulla del West" by this promising company this summer in the language I understand.

However, I don't completely write off English translations. I've seen "The Bartered Bride," "The Cunning Little Vixen" and "Barber of Seville" in this mode and they were just fine, aided by terrific performances. <br />Good for Apotheosis for pulling it off. I hope they will take your criticism to heart and act on it.Donna Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790320343739573248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252382865816191535.post-81280203959945805842015-08-03T09:49:08.299-04:002015-08-03T09:49:08.299-04:00Thanks for your review.
