Our local university is known for it's historical music program, and they put on a production of the opera Alcina by Handel. It was sublime, and a treat to see a baroque opera performed in a smaller theater.

Do you ever go to see live theater? What was the last thing that you went to? Or, alternatively, what was your favorite?

Cabaret at the end of 2025. It was haunting and beautiful

We usually prefer plays to musicals but Cabaret is one of my favs. We got to see it with Orville Peck as Emcee. So good!

i mean cliff bradshaw is pretty much in a play in this musical

[–] dumples@piefed.social 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's a beautiful show and really timely. Orville Peck can really sing. Was he wearing his fringe facemask as the Emcee?

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 47 minutes ago

It was so good. Huge applause with a line about silence equaling agreement. No mask- just his regular face.

have you watched an upload of the 1993 production?

[–] dumples@piefed.social 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I haven't seen it before I saw it live. Not even the movie. I knew what it was about but seeing it pure was something

[–] Aatube@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

well you should also see the 1993 production

[–] dumples@piefed.social 2 points 47 minutes ago

I'll have to look it up. It was brilliant and want to watch it again and again
