Obra: Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro), K492: Aprite un po' quegli occhi

Gerhaher's glorious rendition of Mozart arias and the crisp sound of the FBO made for a delightful evening. 

A bright evening of the "Mozart Effect" series somewhat dulled by a bizarrely structured programme.

When in 2009 Baltimore Opera Company announced bankruptcy and closed its doors indefinitely, opera lovers were devastated. Being left without opera felt like losing a dear family member. However, sad as they were, Baltimoreans never gave up hope that one day their opera would rise from the ashes and come back in its full grandeur.
