Le Nozze di Figaro at #ATLOpera

The season concludes with a Mozart classic and masterpiece.

At interval we were commenting on the excellent stage direction, only to return to our seats and strike up a conversation with our neighbours who turned out to be Uncle and Aunt of Tara Faircloth: the stage director of the show.

Excellent comedic staging and display, with the high quality singing we always get at the Atlanta Opera, and it was another night of fun. The shortest three hours music can bring.



Susanna - Lauren Snouffer
Conte Almaviva - John Moore
Figaro - Craig Colclough
Contessa - Katie Van Kooten
Cherubino - Naomi O'Connell - stunning performance

Learning Wine

Now I would not say that most people at the East Andrews Wine Festival were necessarily there to taste the wine, but your truly brought her nerdacity to the event, along with a tasting chart.

The highlight was by far the Old World vs New World wines lecture by the engaging and interesting Michael McNeill, master somelier.
