Half of 2018 has been and gone (which is beyond crazy), so I thought it might be a good time to meditate on the opera I have seen thus far, focussing in particular on those I have specifically chosen as part of my 2018 Opera Challenge.
Tag: Birmingham
March: Wake
It’s already the beginning of April, which means I’m a quarter of the way through my 2018 Opera Challenge. Amazingly, I have already seen a crazy amount of opera (both professional and by groups doing it for-the-love-of-it); the beauty of Birmingham Opera Company and Wake is that it fuses those two concepts together quite magnificently.
Birmingham Opera Company has been on my radar for a few years, but Wake was the perfect opportunity to make the trip, not only to see a company I haven’t experienced, but as an excuse to get out of South Wales for a day, briefly catch up with my sister, and (possibly most excitingly) see a good friend in her professional opera debut… clearly reason was telling me to go go go.
