Megan Hart and Aaron Blake made Donna Anna and Don Ottavio an impressive vocal power couple.

I left it feeling fine about the future of singing but strolled down State Street, its demeaning Fiesta still in progress, dismayed. Mozart’s opera brings up philosophical issues of class and sexuality and morality that our society has little resolved. The question remains whether we ask these talented young singers, so full of promise, to face such issues on the opera stage or we simply find our answers in supersized margaritas.
