Anonymous Member It was an intimate portrayal of immense and powerful passion. I was very moved in a way one doesn't experience in a large opera house. |

By Giacomo Puccini Directed by Rod Gomez Starring Bharati Soman, Erina Newkirk, Joseph Meyers Pocket Opera believes that the true grandeur of opera lies not in the spectacle, but in the pure, unpretentious marriage of music and words. With Pocket Opera, the distance between performer and audience is minimal. Opera glasses are not needed. By combining Donald Pippin’s incomparable English version with his narrative flair, using minimal scenic elements and a pocket-sized philharmonic on stage along with the singers, Pocket Opera is the theatre of the heart and mind. About Pocket Opera: Hailed by the press as "triumphant," "thrilling" and "funny," Pocket Opera enchants audiences with innovative, unpredictable productions that aim for the heart, challenge the mind and tickle the funny bone.
