Wow, I never write reviews any more on stuff I have seen.  Sigh.
 
Upcoming: Friday, July 13:  the Arbor Opera Theater, a local company
which Leslie has been doing some singing with, performs two 45-minute
chamber operas:  Leonard Bernstein's "Trouble in Tahiti" and 
Gian Carlo Menotti's "The Telephone."  8 p.m., $10, at the Vitosha
bed & breakfast & arts center (the former Unitarian Church), 
1917 Washtenaw Avenue.

"Trouble in Tahiti" is about a crumbling marriage, in a setting using
lots of 1950s cultural idioms.  I saw a student production of it 
about a decade ago and it's a favorite work of mine.
