I went to the Opera Boston performance of The Nose on March 3. I was looking forward to seeing someone I knew from college in the title role. By the time I got there, the only tickets I was willing to pay for had the supertitles blocked. I enjoyed the pre-concert talk, and the show seemed to get off to a good start, and I enjoyed some of the clever stagecraft. Unfortunately, the music just didn't engage me, I couldn't see the guy from college under his foam costume, and I just wasn't enjoying it. I left at the intermission. I suspect I would have enjoyed it a little more being able to follow a little more closely with the supertitles, but I don't think it would have drawn me to stay. Oh well.
