The Funniest Review I've Ever Received!
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 2:14AM Portland Opera's Cosi fan tutte was a great success! Thank you all for showing up and having such a wonderful time.
Here's your reward... One of the funniest, weirdest, boldest and *ahem* kinda flattering reviews from the Willamette Weekly. Remember, I don't write'm I just throw them up here when I think you might like it.
I apologize in advance to my Grandmothers...
"Ferrando (Ryan MacPherson) especially distinguishes himself for his pelvic thrusts; independent of other considerations, the motions of his trousered genitals —wild arabesques and fantasies clearly visible from row G—merit an award for best unsupported actor. The audience went wild for these exertions, but Mr. MacPherson’s black stirrup pants were less sympathetic, as evidenced by an inconvenient rip along the inner upper thigh, exposing a pale pink patch of flesh perilously near the Albanian fertile crescent."

A fantastic and amusing review - it always makes me happy when a reviewer can relate and help his/her readers relate to opera as contemporary entertainment.
HAHA!!! That is the best review ever.
