NYCO's King Arthur

I kind of wish I lived in New York right now. New York City Opera (NYCO) just opened their production of Purcell's King Arthur on March 5. Go see this show, and then tell me all about it!

The production was conceived and choreographed by Mark Morris (wow), and the costumes were designed by Isaac Mizrahi. Here is City Opera's little promo:



For a more behind-the-scenes video, go here. This would be a great first-time opera-goer production to see: it's short, in English, lots of action, and features lighter-voiced singers (not as a big a shock to uninitiated ears).

If you go, give extra-special applause to Sarah Jane McMahon...she's lovely!
