"Kismet" at Ohio Light Opera


How many theater gift shops sell yarn? The gift shop in the lobby of the College of Wooster's Freedlander Theater sells yarn, theater posters, children's items and mugs. You can have ice cream at intermission (eat it outside, please) and on the season's opening day yesterday, the audience enjoyed an after-show reception of popcorn, lemonade, iced tea, and cheese and crackers.

What a treat to meet so many WCLV listeners who won tickets to "Kismet," the production that opened the season yesterday afternoon. "Kismet," which is based on music of Alexander Borodin, is set in Bagdad.

It was so hot yesterday that those loose, cotton costumes worn by the cast seemed like a good idea. Perhaps it's time to bring out that burnous.

  1. And here I though a "light" opera was an ode to incandescent bulbs.
