Scheherezade Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 So. Far more enjoyable than I had anticipated. Not by any means a great opera but amiable, melodic, amusing and I imagine that it had bedded in far more than at the rehearsal and opening night. The cast seemed comfortable in their roles and with the audience. Chris Addison and his French counterpart didn't intrude and even though they didn't add much either there was something quite sweet about the way they played things. I was somewhat perplexed by the non-stop belly laughs from a large slice of the amphi audience but all in all a feel-good evening all round.
