I've attended two operas by the Atlanta Opera Co.
within the last six months... and they were both
spectacular. "Turandot" was the first I attended. I was
absolutely bowled over by the magnificent sets and
costuming.... as well with the wonderful artistry of the
soloists. The second opera was "The Marriage of
Figaro". Mozart's music was fantastic. All the singers
were marvelous, and I paid particular attention to the
orchestra. How wonderfully the orchestra meshed with
the singers.... all, always in pitch with each other. And,
of course, the sets were terrific. I would venture to say
this Opera Company takes a back seat to no Opera
Company in this country, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The operas are held at the
Cobb Energy Centre for the Performing Arts, which is
a beautiful setting for the operas.
