More culture tonight, this time both high-quality AND tuneful: Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, courtesy of the Houston Grand Opera.
Singing in Italian, the cast was (as advertised) magnificent; the voices soared, seemingly effortlessly. HGO calls Figaro "the perfect first opera" and that's very true. Very well done.
