Rock Opera Experience

Lindsey and I decided to get some culture, so we went to see a rock opera performance by a New York opera group at UCI's Barclay Theatre. First, the Barclay Theatre is a great venue to see a show. Every seat seems great and the sound is pretty good.
The show was good, but it didn't knock our socks off. The group played some of opera's most memorable songs souped up with rock 'n roll style. While there definitely some great moments of great creativity and talent, many of the songs lacked creative incorporation of the rock music with many of the arrangements using similar rhythms.
While not memorable, we were entertained and were able to get out for a night of culture, just the two of us.
