I've been performing in the orchestra for the local theater company's production of Amahl and the Night Visitors. It's a cute little one-act opera, and the boy in the lead role has got some impressive vocal talent - at 10! One of the actors, playing one of the kings, actually deigns to talk to the orchestra backstage! He likes us!
But. One of the viola players has a striking resemblance to
elissa_carey with sandy blond hair. I suspect Elissa would insist that _she_ is the evil twin.
I don't really know how the show's going from an audience perspective. Where I sit I really can't see what's going on on-stage, and of course I know when a mistake happens. Ask
cmccurry for a review.
