Opera, July 19: “Shadows and Light”
Upstaging the opera
Thank you for the best laugh I’ve had in a long time.
I was at the unfortunate presentation of the opera [Pelléas et Mélisande] on Saturday. Ms. [Netia] Jones’ presentation totally overwhelmed the performances and the opera itself.
While there appeared to be a sizable audience at the beginning of the opera, at least in the mezzanine where I was, about one third of the people left at intermission.
Will I attend the opera again? Probably, yes. But if I see Netia Jones’ name on the production, I will avoid it. [I] couldn’t focus on the music because the visuals overwhelmed the audio.

Correction
The story “A Budding Dispute” gave the wrong name for the business, Tingen Farms, which was involved in a zoning fight in Doña Ana County.
