The Marriage of Figaro by Anna

It was my first time going to an opera so i didn't know what to expect. Overall, I enjoyed it for the most part, although it did get a little confusing because it was in Italian. It also was kind of difficult to read all the subtitles and watch the play at the same time. The actors were all very talented and sang very well. I'm not a big fan of opera, but it was enjoyable to watch. I don't understand how the girls can get their voices to go that loud and high. It amazes me. It also impresses me how they can memorize all the songs and all the words for the whole 3 hours. During some songs, they get really fast too, and they never once stumbled on a word at all.

I thought the orchestra was super good. It was neat to hear the orchestra play and the singers match up exactly with the speed and tone of the orchestra.

It's really cool to look in the program and see that this production first started in 1786 and ever since that first time it has traveled all across the world. Even though it was late on a school night, I'm glad we went to this because it was a neat and different experience!
