People Are Talking: UMS presents Apollo’s Fire Baroque Orchestra at St. Francis of Assissi:
Great music. Butg arguably the least comfortable concert venue seats in SE Michigan. . . .
People Are Talking: UMS presents Théâtre de la Ville: Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author at Power Center:
The play was written in Italian. By the time it was translated into French, and then into English (for the surtitles), the language was pretty stilted and hard to grasp, especially during the long passages, because the surtitles were often very brief. Overall the surtitles were not well done.
Why didn’t the surtitle people use the much more audience-friendly English translation by Edward Storer?
Overall, I much preferred this group’s “Rhinoceros” production, which I saw in NYC two years ago.
