Richard the Lionheart

The final opera of the season went to K, and the show was Richard the Lionheart. The show was fun, sort of a Twelfth Night-esque comedy of costumes and shipwrecks.

The acting was engaging, but I was not a big fan of the voices in the show.  They were well-trained voices, to be sure, but of the three males, two of them (including Richard himself) were countertenors.  Perhaps I feel differently about kings than other people, but I don't want my king to have a super high-pitched voice.  It's just not kingly.

That's really my only complaint though.  Otherwise, excellent.  And a lovely date with K!
