I took the wife to see the Lyric Opera Cleveland's performance of Mikado last night. The performance was fun, some problems with balance between the singer and orchestra volumes, but gernally well done for an unamplified show.
There was a one hour intermission where-in everyone else busted out their coolers and ate a picnic dinner. We'd had no idea this was coming. Is this standard operating procedure for light operas? I think it's yet another manifestation of the 'no one moves here' phenomenon that grips Cleveland. Everyone who goes to the opera has been there before, so there's no need to advertise this sort of thing.
The plan for this weekend includes Canoing and Backgammon.
