[opera] The Marriage of Figaro at the Academy, Sun 5/7/17
This was a truly enjoyable opera. Lots of slapstick and fun, lots of innuendo, beautiful sets. Really well done. My only issue with it was the length: Mom and I usually try to catch the train in the 5:00 hour (it's something like the 12s for me and the 20s for her), but we stayed an extra hour in hopes of seeing the whole opera, and it still wasn't over when we left at 5:45 (because we could not stay another hour downtown). But overall, laugh-out-loud funny. The scene with the guy under the bed, and the scene with the cabinet, were both just spot on.
