wow. it was executed, but not as well as it could have been. they sound like they are reading lines out of a book. they should have used the magic "IF"
As the great Smoky Robinson (sorry to defile these purer pages with a vintage r&r reference, but one can't live on a steady diet of caviar; the occasional outing to the fish&chips is necessary, at least for contrast) once said 'I second that emotion'!
Heavy cold or not, I think thetenore did this number superbly! As, I might add, did the soprano who sang Josephine. I liked her Princess Ida, too (slightly less so her Yum-Yum in The Mikado).
Don't think this particular set is made from cardboard, however if you had seen this company's Ruddigore (No clips on you-tube I'm afraid) then that set was certainly made of cardboard, plywood and old orange juice cartons! (I know cos I helped make it!) Didn't look like it was though!
Sorry to say that they deserve better and more flattering costumes. The flimsy cardboard set is sort of understandable, but the pointless direction is not.
We're playing this at K.M.C. in Hawaii!!!
I'm a percussionist and I really enjoy this musical!!!

I love this scene. Can someone put the David Hobson/ Anthony Warlow/ Opera Australia version up? I love it!
