This year's Glimmerglass offerings

[uwsman2]

Just home from a weekend in Cooperstown attending this season's four Glimmerglass productions. I think there are a handful of performances left.

 

All four productions -- Lully's Armide, Verdi's Aida, Weil's Lost in the Stars, and Willson's The Music Man -- are very fine in their own ways, but if it is incredible male beauty undraped that you are after, see Armide if there are any more opportunities. The male corps de ballet is superb as dancers and great eye candy (with reasonably revealing costumes) and the two male leads - Renaud & Hate - as total studs.

 

And, young Noah Stewart as Radames in Aida is very impressive -- of voice and physical form.
