Rehearsals have fired up for this month's production of Aida, and we're all very excited about the show. The principals, led by Kristin Lewis and Roy Cornelius Smith, are world-class, and the chorus provides that extra voltage to make this show really sizzle musically and dramatically.
I snapped a very poor, low-resolution photo at rehearsal (left) of Maestro Joe Mechavich, pianist Craig Kier, and our fearless director Bill Florescu from Florentine Opera.
We can't wait to translate what we're doing to the Wright Center--our first opera there should be a big one (especially with a 4-ton elephant walking across the stage!).
