We saw the final performance of the 50th season of Opera Roanoke, the Sunday matinee showing of Engelbert Humperdinck’s “Hansel and Gretel”.

Well done, but I will confess that I don’t love through-composition as a style. Give me number opera with big standout arias.

Here’s to 50 more years of Opera Roanoke. 🥂🎭
