OPERA MADNESS
The 2007 season of The Santa Fe Opera goes into overdrive this week, with six performances in seven nights, ranging from Rameau to Tan Dun's acclaimed
Tea: A Mirror of Soul
. The Mozart this year is
Così fan tutti
, the Italian in the house is Puccini, with his tale of star-crossed lovers,
La bohème
(a better bet than
Rent
in a heart beat), the Teutonic installment is Richard Strauss'
Daphne
and the silliness is supplied by Rameau's
Platée
, the tale of an ugly frog who intends to marry Jupiter. The cheap seats for the entire season are sold out, but standing room is still available; there's no bad sightline in the miraculous opera theater. The parking lot opens at 5:30 prior to performances to provide plenty of picnic and sunset time.
