Up for Opera?
Yet another Chicago Opera Theater production is getting good press. This time it's Hector Berlioz's Béatrice et Bénédict, a comedic libretto based on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. The show provides a fine counterbalance to COT's recent dark, Jungian/Freudian explorations of Erwartung and Bluebeard's Castle. Tickets are still available for the four remaining performances.
Oh, and while you're at it, you may want to listen to Gretchen Helfrich interviewing the COT's director, Brian Dickie [mp3].
