Oh what a night

Wow! Opera in the Park was a huge success! Who to thank first? The weather gods? Our fantastic crew? Volunteers? Sponsors? The thousands who showed up? As a first-time Opera in the Park staffer, I am simply in awe of the forces that cooperated on Saturday to make such a wonderful show happen, for free, for such a large crowd. I'll be posting more photos and accounts of the event over the next few days, but for now, a big thank you to everyone. Check out the reviews below, and if you have photos, videos, or comments, please send them along or post to our Facebook page.

77 Square: "Just about perfect...The performances: From beginning to end, of the highest quality."

The Isthmus: "With the rain holding off virtually to program's end, this year's Opera in the Park benefited from beautifully mild weather, drawing another audience of enthusiastic thousands gathered at Garner Park...The four guest singers were all excellent vocalists..."
