Midsummer’s Night Dream

When I heard that we were going to see Midsummer’s Night Dream as in Opera, I was very excited because it’s one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. In addition, I never went to an opera before so I was excited for a new experience, not knowing what to expect. I thought the Opera was going to be the actual story line of the play with outbursts of music in between, like a Broadway show.

After the play, I learnt that the Opera is ALL singing! Now, I am not really complaining because there voices were amazing! At first, I thought they were lip-singing. Also, I loved the fact that they place a small screen in front of you to display the words that the actors/singers were saying. Without it, I would be really lost.

I felt bad for the people sitting next to me because I saw that there screens weren’t working (Prof. Ugoretz, you know what I mean :p)

When I left the theater, I came out knowing that I had a great laugh, a fun time with friends, and a learning experience.
