Opera holds a very soft spot in my heart, I think that it is one of the most beautiful and magical aspects of the theatre. The way that the performers are describing their parts and how the have a such a passion for the show and for what they do. It is a magical thing, it is also interesting because I was able to see some of the sketches of the costume design for Rinaldo, because Crystal Gomes was the designer. They were beautiful and really seem to be integrated with the idea that the rest of the team has. I am also confident that their approach to a baroque version of this opera. I hope to be able to go and see the opera before they close.
