Today's summary: At the opera to see Josh in Don Pasquale.

We went to the Opera Vivente production of Don Pasquale. My very talented baritone friend, Josh Saxon, played the meddling Dr. Malatesta.

The Baltimore Sun said, "As Dr. Malatesta, the perpetrator of that matchmaking scheme, Joshua Saxon offered suave vocalism. There was a light sparkle in his tone, an easy flow to his phrasing, even in the tongue-twisting Act 3 duet with King."

As usual I was totally impressed... I wish I had a better understanding for classical music and opera, so I could better understand the strong points of the performance. What else can I say?
