Opera Idaho - South Pacific

Opera Idaho performed South Pacific outdoors at Idaho Botanical Garden. Their first performance was Friday evening and their second and final performance was today.

The weather for today's performance was clear and hot. 90+ degrees. Sunblock was a must for, the audience, the orchestra, and the performers.

Several people found shady places to wait for the performance to start.  Some of the favorites were the Meditation Garden and the path to the English Garden.

Willowcreek Grill and Raw Sushi were the caterers for the event.  I tried the 1/2 Pinchy  Roll (lobster and avocado) 1/2 Tuna Roll. It was the perfect treat for such a hot day.  Willowcreek's staff was absolutely great.

Alex Lundquist - Men's Ensemble warms up his vocals

Walking through the English Garden before the performance I saw that even the actors had found shady places to warm up their vocal chords or read through the score.

Brett Hamilton - who sang Emile de Becque

After the show I asked a couple people what they thought of it.

It was very nice.

Absolutely wonderful!

   








I am looking forward to the next time Opera Idaho decides to perform at Idaho Botanical Gardens. For information on their schedule and tickets check out their website.
