Poetry Month: Beaumarchais via Da Ponte

I went to the Atlanta Opera's presentation of Marriage of Figaro last night.  That company has really stepped up its game the last two productions.  Now, instead of being adequate but not fabulous, they are moments of fabulosity marred at times by ragged singing and really annoying technical issues with their supertitle system.

So while overall I loved it, I was disappointed in the non-audibility of their Don Bartolo, who is actually one of my more favorite villains.  Kurt Moll, however, will show us how it's done.
