The opera went much better than I thought it would. Charlie, the sophmore working the fish, did a bang up job. I was really proud of him.
I might be biased, but based on audience reaction, the carp was the hit of the evening. These photos are from a rehearsal, not the show–I wouldn’t take pictures during a performance–but it’s nice to see the fish under the lights anyway.
Speaking of lights, the lighting design was one of the most misguided “artsy” things I’ve ever seen. You couldn’t see anyone on stage, and each scene was a diferent color. Do I really need to strain to see a singer in a dim green wash?
