RE: Production in Fletcher |
| Message: |
My husband and I were disappointed in Lucia. The producation (staging, scenery)was stiff and the stage was too stark. More props and furniture would have helped soften the set. The members of the chorus sang well but no one was reacting to Lucia's plight and then her madness. Lucia did a fine job in the mad scene but getting little reaction from the rest of the actors meant that she was less convincing then she would have been had those around her registered more emotion. Also the main singers were not well matched in voice or character. Perhaps because Fletcher is a more intimate experience, these things were more noticeable.
We have come to expect great performances from Opera of North Carolina. We loved Turandot and the Barber. Lucia just did not measure up to those other performances. |
