Operas like street cars.

Yep.  You wait for ages then three come at once.  Actually not really ages as I was at a performance of Madama Butterfly on Sunday but still now I have three in three days.  Tomorrow I'm seeing Handel's Alcina in an Opera Atelier production that will likely play it for laughs with much "tasteful" semi-nudity.  Friday night is Dvorak's Jakobin; about which I know very little but I'm reviewing for Opera Canada and Saturday sees the lemur and I back at the COC for a third look at the rather good Falstaff that is on.  I don't often see a show three times but this time there was a mix up over my press tickets so they asked me to come back again when they could give me better ones!  Then it gets a bit thinner until Christmas though I do have at least three concerts and two stage performances between now and then.
