    Lovely afternoon at The Paramount Theatre where we attended a ballet production of Snow White and…read morethe Seven Dwarves. Our tickets were inexpensive for genuinely good view of the stage in row J. Ushers were friendly and eager to assist everyone who needed help finding their seats. The antique decor, paintings of 17th century ladies & gents, and yellow upholstery all give an authentic live theater experience. There was a strange little wall mounted water fixture (see picture) that I really liked even though I'm not sure what it is practically for. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We expected live instruments and were surprised it was set to prerecorded orchestral music, but the sound quality was great so no worries. My only real complaint is that when we stopped by earlier that afternoon to buy our tickets, the fellow at the window seemed really put out . He answered our questions, but it felt like we were imposing on him. There was no one in line behind us and it's our first time going to a ballet since childhood, so we had some newbie questions. To engage with something like this for the first time is to step outside of our comfort zone, and I wish that the guy helping us had shown a more generous tone in the customer service department. His palpable annoyance very nearly scared us off buying tickets to this show at all.

    This historical Theater is gorgeous! I'm so glad we came from out of town to see Mandy Patinkin…read morehere on a recent Sunday night. It was a short easy walk from our Home2Suites hotel. The lobby was nice. Bathrooms really nice. What a wonderful venue!

    This month (March 2019), Virginia Opera has 7 performances of Madama Butterfly scheduled. I…read moreattended the penultimate performance at the Carpenter Center two nights ago. This is not a review of Madama Butterfly or Carpenter Center, but how well VO executed it. I believe it was done quite well. Casting was flawless. The role of Cio-Cio-san (Madama Butterfly) seems to be made for mezzo-soprano Danielle Pastin. Her anguish in the final minutes is palpable and contagious. And I cannot imagine a better Suzuki than Kristen Choi. The selection of Carpenter Center as the venue was quite good, although for future performances, I hope VO considers larger venues. It appeared to be sold out. But even at max capacity, the flow of people was very smooth. Acoustics at the Center were quite good, and VO had a "closed caption" screen above the stage for those (like me) that don't know Italian. A plethora of parking options. I chose a parking deck, less than 1/2 block away, $10. See how far $10 gets you in NYC. :) Adequate concessions, at reasonable prices. Lots of ushers, eager to help me find my seat. My only complaint is that they do not have a senior discount. (As does the Williamsburg Opera, for example,) I believe Virginia Opera put it all together quite well. I look forward to more performances from VO in the future.
