Project 289 - Day 211 : O-O-O-Opera!

Free tickets to see Cosi Fan Tutte tonight at the Opera House!

The weather was sublime, and after a delicious dinner at the Paragon Hotel at Circular Quay - the pub itself, not the McDonalds thank you! - my beautiful guy and I plus his friends Alan and Peita and four of their friends, settled in for what turned out to be a very funny, energetically acted and sung opera. I have seen very little opera till this year, and this production continued continued what has been a very enjoyable education. The set was dramatically stark and modernist, the costumes fabulous (red and yellow soldier uniforms anyone?!), and the voice superb. There was even a mock Japanese wedding constantly morphing into various configurations in the background which I think represented the presence of true love, when everyone is unsure of who they love, and why....

Or it could have just been an excuse for more fabulous costumes! Hmm, think that's most likely the answer!
