The
weekend started with the Barber
of Seville. The presentation at the Sheraton Hotel was okay but not that impressive. The vocalists voices were not strong enough and they sang in English, which was really the big disappointment!
It is supposed to be in Italian, a foreign language! That’s the whole point of any opera! You are not supposed to understand the lyrics, just enjoy the music :). Anyway, I guess the Middle East is a good place for amateurs to practice before they make it in the real world.
The rest of the weekend was movies, pancakes and more movies. We saw The Omen, Wag the Dog, No Good Deed, Artificial Intelligence and Laurel Canyon
The Omen was great but No Good Deed was the pinnacle of horridness!
