A brilliant evening of thought-provoking music theater. Everything was in its place and we were spellbound.
We saw the preview at Santa Rosa JC. Cinnabar has done it again – come up with an incredibly talented cast. Although set in the 50’s, tragedies such as depicted in this opera could be happening right now given the current state of the world. Don’t miss this show!
I am in Cinnabar’s debt once again, as you continue to educate me and broaden my horizons. The truth is, I was not expecting much from Menotti, having been raised with minimal opera contact and having found my way to it through the melodic pathways of Rossini and Puccini and those guys. My feeling about Menotti was “not melodic; nothing you can hum on your way to the parking lot.”
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. All day yesterday (and I mean like thirty or forty times!) I found myself “la-la-ing” the Lullaby from The Consul, and wishing I could remember the whole melody line and knew the words. And bits of Magda’s aria and “O lips say goodbye” keep popping into my mind. Like Elly and Nina said at the SRJC preview : This is wonderful stuff!
Cosi was great. Wow! Sexy! Powerful! Beautiful! Hilarious! Thank you, Cinnabar!
